Nix the Tricks - Tina Cardone,Room 2450
(All Levels)
Being a mathematics student is about critical thinking, justification and using tools of past experiences to solve new problems. Students who approach every topic as a series of steps to memorize are not learning math. In this session we will explore how to replace some popular tricks with teaching for understanding. Come prepared to think - we will balance an overview of existing resources with time to work on ideas for your own classroom (ex: how to un-teach tricks kids know, replace a trick you currently use or build deeper understanding on a topic you only touch the surface of).
