How Long Do I Wait For Models and Strategies To Emerge? - A Math Mentoring Moment

Description:

Today we speak with Christina Michaels - a teacher for over 24 years from Tucson Arizona. Christina has just taken our online course The Concept Holding Your Students Back: Unlocking the Key Understanding of Proportional Reasoning and is implementing many of the strategies she has learned. The pebble in Christina’s shoe is around the question: “When is the right time to show my students a model that they can use to represent their thinking?” 

This is another  Math Mentoring Moment episode where we talk with a member of the Math Moment Maker Community who is working through struggles and together we brainstorm possible next steps and strategies to overcome them. 

You’ll Learn: 

  • When is the right time to introduce that model for thinking;
  • How do I push the complexity on a problem so students see the usefulness of the mathematics being learned; 
  • What tasks are useful for teaching ratios and proportions; and, 
  • How do I take my own learning on proportional reasoning to the next level so I can support my students.

You’re cutting it close to joining us for our fall PD offering on Closing Gaps with your grade 2 through 10 students. We’ve built a self-paced, 9 Module, fully online course called The Concept Holding Your Students Back.
