520- How Do They Relate? Teaching Students to Make Mathematical Connections

Saturday, April 16, 2016: 8:00 AM-9:00 AM
3003 (Moscone)

 

Lead Speaker:
Tracy Johnston Zager


 

Many students see math content as a series of discrete topics, rather than a landscape of interconnected concepts. We'll analyze transcripts, problems, and student work from different classes to develop powerful strategies to teach relational thinking. Attendees who stay for part II will contextualize and apply ideas further in grade-level bands.
