“Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.” — Albert Einstein
Research tells us that students need to engage in open-ended math tasks that include mathematical discourse so they can develop reasoning and sense-making skills. Quality math tasks allow students to construct their own learning through a guided-inquiry approach. In this edWebinar, we will discuss the indicators of a quality math task and explore practical strategies to promote math talk in our classrooms. Join us, share your ideas, and walk away with several practical instructional strategies to use in your classroom!
This edWebinar will be of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
