As the end of the year approaches, our energy levels are waning, yet we know our students still need our best teaching and thinking as they continue to learn. This two-part edWebinar series is designed to recharge your small-group instruction with a dual focus on practicing skills and applying the mathematics students have learned this year. For teachers, this series emphasizes supporting student-to-student interaction while working in groups as well as practical strategies for documenting student learning and thinking.
In the second session of this series, we feature applications of mathematics through small-group problem-solving tasks. Explore both real-world and mathematical tasks which develop deep understanding of how math is used in context. You leave the session with new tasks for your students, refreshed ideas about structuring small-group work, and practical strategies for documenting student thinking and learning. Watch Sara Delano Moore, Ph.D. to expand your resources for applying mathematics and tracking student learning.
This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-5 teachers and school and district leaders.
