The Power of Progressions: Untangling the Knotty Areas of Teaching and Learning Mathematics

Join us in welcoming Graham Fletcher, Ed.S. for a daylong math workshop this fall! As more mathematics teachers look to add high-yield tasks to their repertoire, the struggle to make it all work becomes real. Let's examine how problem-based lessons can be used throughout a unit and how we can harness their power to advance student thinking. We’ll identify strategies and explore tasks to help us find a healthy balance among application, conceptual understanding, and procedural fluency.
