Sparking Curiosity with Problem Solving: Raising Student Voice

A Teaching Partnerships for Mathematics Achievement Learning Series for the 2024-2025 school year

Description

Join us as we explore ways to empower students to enthusiastically delve into problem solving. We’ll use low-floor/high-ceiling tasks rooted in routines and lesson structures that develop both language and mathematics in an authentic and purposeful way.

The professional learning session will feature Cecilio Dimas from the Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative (SVMI), an expert in raising student voice for deep mathematical learning. Mr. Dimas will lead participants through learning experiences that utilize Math Language Routines.

Key members of your school team will engage in the learning together to ensure successful implementation that can lead to math achievement for all students. You will gain practical strategies that you can use right away in your classrooms.

Mathematizing Dramatic Play (Early Childhood)

Monday, July 15, from 10:00–11:00 a.m.

-Through observed interactive play, participants will generate ideas about how mathematical content such as: classifying, exploring magnitude, enumerating, investigating dynamics (i.e. subitizing and transformations), recognizing patterns and shapes, and recognizing spatial relations.

-Participants will discuss how the centers (a restaurant, a grocery store, a vet clinic, a construction site, and a dinosaur dig) can invoke mathematical thinking. -Participants will connect mathematizing dramatic play to the Arizona Early Learning Standards.

Take a DIP into Splat! (Grades K–6)
