Do your students struggle with reasoning about numbers, thinking flexibly about them, and estimating? Are you looking for practical, high-quality tasks to engage students and ignite discussion? In this session, participants learn about dynamic, doable activities that engage students in meaningful ways to strengthen number sense and fluency. A collection of ready-for-use resources will be provided and explored so that pursuit of number sense becomes a daily routine.
Teaching problem solving is hard. It is about helping students learn to make sense, think, and reason. It happens best through student engagement and discussion. This session helps participants learn how to do all of this through instructional routines for problem solving. These routines are brief, doable, replicable, and easily adaptable for any grade or content. They put students at the center of the experience and are designed for students to develop their own thinking, reasoning, and strategies for getting unstuck. A collection of classroom-ready resources will be shared.
