Featuring Dr. Ming Tomayko Professor of Mathematics, Towson University Are your students confused and frustrated when doing math? Do they dread problem solving and give up quickly? Come and learn strategies that will cultivate a growth mindset and help your students make sense of mathematics. We will explore classroom routines that promote reasoning and estimation skills. We will practice analyzing, modifying, and creating tasks to use with our students. We will use models and manipulatives to explore fraction concepts and operations. You will walk away with ideas you can implement immediately. The focus will include elementary content; however, strategies can be applied more broadly.
