Is math instruction all about getting students to have conceptual understanding so that they can better perform step-by-step procedures? Or is it about something else entirely? We can build increasingly sophisticated mathematical reasoners who solve problems using what sparks for them, not what they have rote memorized. It’s about reasoning, not answer getting. It’s about positioning all students as mathematical sense makers. How? Come and see, and experience mathematizing!
