Problem Solving to promote engagement and student learning
Saturday October 26, 2024 10:05am - 11:20am PDT
Macdonald D, Fairmont
We all know that problem solving is an important aspect of a mathematics classroom, but do we know why or how to implement problem solving into our lessons. In this workshop, we will look at what research has to say on this topic, and I will share some of my successes in implementing problem solving as a way to engage, motivate and support all learners. Attendees will participate in many of my favourite tasks to experience the "why" and the "how" behind implementing a problem solving lesson.
