SATURDAY SEMINARS
Get Students to See Their Own Cleverness!
Our series of Saturday seminars will focus on engaging students in mathematical curiosity, lifting and honoring and pursuing THEIR insights, while using questions to advance the trajectory of learning. We will be offering seminars virtually navigating the use of digital tools to see each person's thinking and to foster collaboration between learners.
FOCUS FOR THIS YEAR
Each seminar:
-
Engage virtually in a low floor-high ceiling mathematical task, experiencing how it feels as a learner
-
Reflect upon the learning experience focusing on moments of feeling clever and mathematical identity
-
Reflect upon virtual engagement and new learnings to take away
Math appetizers
Be ready to dive in at the start of our Saturdays! We will provide a sneak peek, some "math appetizers" to pique your curiosity and get you in a math mindset. They will be sent a week prior to the seminar so you can find the time that works best for you. We just ask you return your thinking by 9:30am the day of the seminar so we can review it before we start.
