About the Webinar
Research tells us that students need to engage in open-ended math tasks that include mathematical discourse so they can develop reasoning and sense-making skills. Quality math tasks allow students to construct their own learning through a guided-inquiry approach. In this edWebinar, we discuss the indicators of a quality math task and explore practical strategies to promote math talk in our classrooms. Walk away with several practical instructional strategies to use in your classroom! Viewers will:
- Learn about the research, barriers, and strategies around quality math tasks
- Understand learning environments that encourage math talk
- Experience a math task from both a teacher and student perspective
- Learn and practice language routines that will make your classroom math discussions more effective and intentional
This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders.
