Overview

All students learn math through and with language. Maximizing meta-awareness of both language and problem-solving strategies helps students improve their processes and communication while learning math. In this 2-hour virtual workshop, we will explore the routines and planning processes that enhance students’ self-reflection and articulation of their mathematical thinking.

Outcome

I create an environment that encourages students to communicate their mathematical thinking with each other.
