Description
Do you believe that learning math should be more than memorizing facts and formulas? Like you, I think that learning math is about changing our brains to have more and more connections, and increasing in mental sophistication. Learning is also using what you know to build new relationships. Want that to happen more in your classroom?
Welcome to Problem Strings, an instructional routine that moves students from where they are and helps them build relationships and sophisticated strategies. A purposefully crafted string of problems, interspersed with a teacher-led discussion, moves students from their current understanding to new ideas in a way that is student centered and feels organic.
In this mini workshop we'll begin by experiencing a Problem String (from your grade band) as a participant. Next, we'll watch a master teacher facilitate a Problem String with students (again, from your grade band), and then study three Problem Strings for your grade band. Finally, we will review high-leverage teacher moves to help you get the most out of this incredible instructional routine, and learn how to fit Problem Strings into your current teaching.
There is even a BONUS lesson on how to teach remotely with Problem Strings.
