Supporting Productive Problem Solving (Grades PK-8)
Problem solving is a critical mathematical behavior, but many students remain stuck on procedures and repetition rather than creative and critical thinking. In this session, teachers will learn strategies to support their students’ engagement in productive mathematical problem solving within the standards that we teach every day. Professional learning will include how noticing and wondering can open up mathematical problems, using mathematical representations to problem solve, and more strategies that can be used in PK-8 mathematics lessons to spark student thinking!
