Why Is That True? How Does It Work? Finding Multiple Answers for Mathematical Classroom Situations

Presented by Connie Schrock

What are the common mathematics classroom questions asked by your students as they learn? Are you ready to explain why? Why can't we divide by zero? What do you know about the data when you only have the box plot? When can you circumscribe a polygon? Why is a negative times a negative a positive? Help students explore to find their own understandings using multiple methods.

May 21, 2020 07:00 PM : Practices, Practices, Practices: 8 for Teachers, 8 for Students--How Do They Relate?

8 Effective Teaching Practices and 8 Standards for Mathematical Practice can make for an overwhelming amount of things for teachers to keep track of, implement and monitor. Come and reflect on all of these practices, consider how they relate to one another and consider a framework that simplifies it to 3 but robust enough to handle it all.
