Outcomes: The MMO seminar is designed to bring together teachers from
Kindergarten through middle grades to:
|
Analyze the key mathematical ideas that underlie
the meaning of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole
numbers and fractions;
|
|
Learn
how these core mathematical ideas develop from Kindergarten through grade 8,
including what many students find especially challenging |
|
Consider the types of classroom settings and
teaching strategies that support the development of student understanding;
|
|
Recognize
how the CCSSM mathematical practices arise in this content and learn to engage students
in the practices, with particular focus on MP1(make sense of problems and
persevere in solving them), MP2 (reason abstractly and quantitatively), and MP3
(construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others). |
