2022 NCCEP/GEAR UP Annual Conference
July 20th, 10:45am–12:00pmEST — Solving the Math Conundrum: How to Develop Students’ Skills While Expanding Their Metacognition
Robust mathematics instruction begins with integration of the 8 standards for mathematical practice. But weaving together the practices with content skills is a complex process. This session is designed to provide the context, strategies, and examples teachers need to implement robust math instruction for all students. These resources provide models of what it looks like and sounds like when students are utilizing the practices, along with detailed views of how each practice integrates with specific mathematics content and the tools to do it. Participants will learn how to develop students’ mathematical metacognition by integrating the skills and the practices.
Learning Objectives:
- Examine and utilize instructional strategies that integrate mathematical practices and skills with equal focus, coherence, and rigor for all students.
- Analyze and apply the learning process, examples, and tools for developing metacognition with each mathematical practice.
- Create an action plan that ensures all students receive instruction that fosters their mathematics knowledge and metacognition.
Can you imagine building an environment full of motivated, engaged, and eager students who own their learning?
We can.
