Ever see your students grab random numbers from a word problem and just start guessing operations? Let’s flip the script!
In alignment with our enVision + California Math curriculum, this collaborative PD focuses on putting students in the driver's seat of their own mathematical thinking. When they lead the problem-solving, engagement and confidence soar! During this session you will practice:
The 3 Reads Strategy: Master the routine that teaches kids to slow down and dissect word problems like a story—focusing on context, quantities, and questions before doing any math.
Co-Crafting Problems: Learn how to present real-world scenarios without a question, inviting students to co-craft the math problems themselves.
Student-Led Discourse: Grab quick routines that honor multiple solution pathways and make student thinking the star of your classroom.
Come ready to play, think like your students, and leave with high-impact strategies you can use right away!
