In the grades 9–12 curriculum there are a number of common "shortcuts" that misrepresent mathematics. We will discuss how they limit students' ability to reason and make sense of mathematical concepts and how teachers can avoid using these shortcuts and help their students build conceptual understanding.
Presentation Format: 9-12 Session
Grade Band Audience: 9 to 12, Preservice and Inservice
