Successful Instructional Math Strategies For Students (Two-Day Academy)

Presenter: CaLandra Pervis
Workshop Time: 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Registration time: 8:30 am
Registration fee: $349, $299 for Texas ASCD members

Summary: Students must learn mathematics with understanding, actively building new knowledge from experiences and prior knowledge.

This workshop will focus on the following topics:
    Algebraic Reasoning
    Geometry
    Develop and use Effective Questioning Strategies

The participants will be given the opportunity to work cooperatively in developing mathematical concepts concretely to build understanding and then abstractly to apply information for problem solving. This strategy will assist teachers in addressing the unique learning styles of many students in their classroom. The participants will be given opportunities to explore mathematical relationships, develop skills and communicate their ideas through multiple representations.
