During this session participants will learn how to push students’ mathematical knowledge and thinking through collaboration and real-world application problems. Participants will be presented with an open-ended math situation. The instructor will teach the participants as if they were a class of middle school students. During the session, the instructor will also go over step-by-step instructions on how to teach this situation as a problem-based, collaborative unit. Questions will be answered as they develop throughout the session.
I teach 7th and 8th grade math and provide support as a Math TOSA to teachers at Valley View in implementing the Common Core Standards in mathematics and Project-Based Learning through New Tech Network.
