Becoming Better Reasoners: Supporting Students to Develop as Problem Solvers
|
Max Ray, the Math Forum
8:30 - 10:00
Session 4
Grades 6-12
|
Max

Description: How do we move students along the continuum from novice to expert problem solvers? We'll look at key strategies such as Solve a Simpler Problem, Look at Cases, Make a Table, and Make a Model, exploring what it means to get better at each strategy. We will solve problems together, reflect on our work, and look at student work along the continuum.
