In this workshop, participants will participate in discussions and activities that focus on visualization and conceptual development of mathematics to help students think deeply about mathematical ideas and relationships.
Participants will explore:
How to provide #SlowMath opportunities for all students to notice and wonder “what if” and “why”
How to use TI technology to promote productive struggle
By the end of the workshop, participants should be able to say, I can …
Invoke #SlowMath for students to engage in productive struggle to show what they know in more than one way
Recognize the difference between productive struggle and destructive struggle
Recognize #AskDontTell opportunities to "unstuck" students
Anticipate how students will solve tasks and expect use of multiple representations to deepen mathematics understanding
Day 1
Participants will join in discussions and activities focused on:
Demonstrating math flexibility to show what they know in more than one way
Facilitating meaningful mathematical discourse so that students can look for and make use of structure to reason
Analyzing different pathways, finding connections between pathways, and adding new strategies to their thinking
Recognizing when students are undergoing destructive struggle and need #AskDontTell prompting to become "unstuck”
Day 2
During the second day of the workshop, participants will more deeply investigate the ideas and strategies presented in the first day, as well as focus on:
Planning a task that meets an instructional goal and reframe it as a #SlowMath productive struggle
Exploring how to guide learners to construct a viable argument to deepen understanding of a concept
Discussing how to coach and confer to empower learners to act as agents of their own learning
Considering what is to be gained if we make our thinking visible and empower learners to take steps
