Lead Speaker:
Charlie Hennessy
The speaker will discuss techniques that lead prealgebra and Algebra 1 students from concrete to abstract thinking. Geometer’s Sketchpad 5 allows students to set and control values on a dynamic number line or in a coordinate plane. When students can see the immediate effects of changes in these values, their understanding of variable deepens.
Presentation Format: 6-8 Session
