Making Math an Active Subject Workshop
Number sense can’t be taught by a textbook where often students must follow a rigid set of rules. Students need to explore numbers, visualize them in a variety of context and relate numbers in ways that are not traditional algorithms. Utilizing textbooks sometimes doesn't get the job done. Students needs to be involved in conversation. They need to see the math in our lived worlds. They need to explore tasks in which they are involved in the problem solving process. In this workshop, participants will examine what active math looks like in a classroom. Participants will be fully trained on Clothesline Math, Number Talk Images, and 3 Act tasks. Plenty of resources will be shared with the idea that materials could be used in the classroom the next day.
