Many students believe that math is a set of nonsensical procedures that must be memorized. When students are given the opportunity to build procedural fluency on a foundation of conceptual understanding, they discover that math can be engaging as well as logical. This presentation will follow the evolution of one struggling student's mathematical growth as he works through a well-designed task in a math class.
