How do we give students the authentic mathematics experiences they need to navigate the modern world? For example, a pre-published word problem on the spread of a pandemic doesn’t really mirror real life. Factors that really matter, like social distancing or a population’s age, won’t be included. Join this edWebinar as Robert Kaplinsky, well-known mathematics educator, author, and speaker, discusses how to teach students to build skills they can use to deal with the complexities ahead.

Participants will:

• Learn how to teach through authentic problem solving
• Help students build skills they can use to tackle complexities in college, career, and beyond
• Understand why we can’t keep teaching math the way we were taught

This edWebinar will be of benefit to middle and high school teachers, school and district leaders, math curriculum directors, coaches, and department chairs. There will be time to have your questions answered at the end of the presentation.
