HEMS-ELEM: Making Mathematics Come Alive in Elementary School!
March 26, 2022 and April 9, 2022 from 1:00 to 5:00pm

Description: Are your students excited about math? Are you looking for ways to increase engagement and understanding? Have you read Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics by Peter Liljedhal (or do you plan to)? Would you like to create a classroom environment where children are thinking and thinking deeply?
In this session, we will explore ways to transform your classroom into a thinking classroom through the use of rich mathematical tasks, inquiry, and play. We will collaborate together to shift our perspective about how we approach mathematics teaching and learning using the lens of building thinking classrooms and student centered activities. You will leave this workshop with the foundational tools you need to easily transform your mathematics classroom into a student centered thinking classroom. Come join us for two fun-filled sessions of collaborating and learning as we work together to help our students discover the wonder and joy of mathematics.
