Event Details

This workshop shares one instructional method that has shown positive results in helping students connect mathematical content to their own lives and experiences. The goal is not to present a perfect or one-size-fits-all solution, but rather to offer a practical strategy that teachers can adapt to fit their own classrooms, students, and curriculum. Attendees will create documents such as quizzes, homework, and entrance/exit tickets, through google slides and Powerpoint.

  1. Make sure to bring a laptop or chromebook, and charging cord as well as some curriculum for framework to help create new documents.
