Training Topic — Developing Mathematical Reasoning
Here's a summary of the two main areas covered in this topic. The guidance educators will receive and the skills they will acquire are listed for each area.
Developing Mathematical Reasoning with Exploratory Activities
- Skills to incorporate the use of hands-on explorations to deepen conceptual understanding in Math learners
- An understanding of how to enable students to form connections between different Math concepts
- Learn to interpret the CA standards under the Mathematical Reasoning strand
Bolstering the Problem Solving Abilities of Secondary Math Students
- Conduct a review of various problem solving strategies for Mathematics
- Learn to work with students to build a "Tool Kit" of strategies early in the academic year and schedule opportunities to consistently work with these strategies
- Experience of various word problems, conceptual problems, and proofs
