Learn techniques to help students articulate their thinking, both verbally and in writing, making their mathematical reasoning visible and deepening their comprehension. - Session 2: Strategies for Differentiated Instruction
Every student learns differently, and this session will equip you with strategies to meet diverse learning needs. Explore methods for differentiating instruction by incorporating literacy practices that cater to various learning styles and levels, ensuring that all students can engage meaningfully with mathematical content. - Session 3: Enhancing Student Engagement and Motivation
Keeping students engaged in math can be challenging, but integrating literacy can make all the difference. This session will focus on how to create a classroom environment where students are motivated to explore math concepts through reading and writing activities that spark curiosity and foster a love for learning. - Session 4: Let’s Add, Subtract, and Compare!
All students should engage with content that is appropriately scaffolded, with many opportunities to express their thinking, negotiate meaning, and collaboratively solve problems alongside their peers and teachers. Let’s support sense-making and make meaningful connections for the children in our classrooms without sacrificing the rigor of grade-level work. - Session 5: Let’s Multiply, Divide, and Explore Fractions!
When students have a purpose for talking and listening to each other, communication is more authentic and relevant. Student voice and ownership of strategies can elevate classroom conversations and connections made along the way. Let’s dive into strategies to strengthen opportunities and structures for students to describe and express their thinking to others.
