Teaching Math for Understanding - AM
Sorry, this workshop is full and is no longer accepting new registrations.
Capacity: Limited to 30 attendees. 0 remaining registrations available.
Date/Time: Saturday, November 16, 2024 8:30AM – 11:30AM
Location: Huntington Station, NY
Instructor(s): Brian Zarro
Many teachers in adult education are generalists and may not have a strong background in math. Even teachers with a math background may struggle with how to reach adult students. Teachers often think they need to understand the most advanced math on the HSE exams, but to be successful, what we really need is a deeper understanding of the math we already know, which involves more than knowing how to use procedures to solve problems. Knowledge for math teaching means being able to understand our students’ thinking and meet them where they are. It is something we develop by listening and focusing on student reasoning and through building multiple approaches to problem-solving. In this workshop, we will solve problems and share problem solving methods, analyze samples of student work, identify characteristics of dependent and independent learners, and learn how beginning math teachers deepen their own mathematical understanding.
3 hours PD.
