SESSION
How To Increase Student Engagement and Encourage Deeper Thinking About Math
Many students have only experienced the side of math that feels uninviting, rigid, and inaccessible. In this session, we will explore how concrete, visual, and contextual representations can reveal the other side of math-- the side that is creative and honors what all students bring to math. Learn how to invite students "behind the scenes" of math and walk away with ideas that will increase engagement, deepen understanding, and create a curiosity for learning.
