Building a Foundation for Word Problem-Solving for Math Educators

Speaker: Diane Kue

Date: November 13, 2024

Time: 8:30am to 3:30pm

WHAT IT IS: When solving word problems, a desired impact as teachers is to teach

students how to reason so they successfully problem-solve in and out of the classroom. This session places pedagogy before strategies by identifying the concepts and application for quantitative reasoning. Educators will also engage in novel approaches to student-led tasks that will transform mathematical thinking with a focus on pedagogy and math literacy.

MATH EDUCATORS IN THIS WORKSHOP WILL:

· Identify the relationship between calculating and conceptualizing

· Explore the foundation for problem-solving and its application for success beyond the classroom

· Investigate the impact of math literacy

· Engage with student-led task examples that promote numeracy, reasoning,

and math literacy

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

· Mathematics Teachers

· Instructional Coaches and Specialists

· Mathematics Department Heads, Team Leads

· District Mathematics Directors, Coordinators

Book Included with Registration: Solved: A Teacher's Guide to Making Word Problems Comprehensible
