Are you looking for ways to help your students use the mathematics they know to make sense of and navigate the complex world in which they live? Join this four-session webinar series and advance your students’ mathematical identity, agency, and authority. You will learn about the mathematical thinking and reasoning critical for modeling with mathematics and how to develop it through the Analyzing Contexts and Model reasoning routine. Then roll up your sleeves and join colleagues to find, adapt, and create contexts and models that will capture your student’s attention and cultivate their critical thinking.
Target audience: Grades 5-10. The ideas are adaptable beyond this grade band however the content we will explore together will target math concepts from grades 5-10.
