Designing Impactful Math Experiences

When math education moves beyond how and into why, learning happens. “Now I get it.” “Yes!” “I knew it!” This is the sound of deeper engagement, deeper thought, deeper learning. How do you get there? Join us for an interactive session where we will discuss three fundamental questions: (1) How do we acquire learning? (2) Who leads the learning? (3) How do we measure success? Participants leave with strategies and activities for facilitating deeper learning.
