This workshop will be held at Mascoutah # 19 ASC Center 421 W. Harnett St. Mascoutah, IL.

Implementing problem-based instructional tasks can be daunting for a new or veteran educator. In this session, participants will gain knowledge in having a set of anticipated student responses, a place to record student thinking, a plan for who will share their thinking and a structure for sharing to occur. This includes the “talk moves” necessary to facilitate students making the mathematical connections that lead to true understanding and relevance of mathematics in real-world situations. Participants will design learning events to meet established goals while paying particular attention to providing opportunities to develop conceptual understanding of the topic prior to learning events focused on procedural fluency.
