In our Think Tanks, educators will have the opportunity for in-depth explorations of specific content and effective pedagogy. Our Think Tanks are on-site collaborations, where all participants will actively engage in the teaching-learning cycle. As part of our work together, we will examine content learning trajectories, tools for assessing students’ thinking, and ways to address children’s development through lesson design and implementation.
We will also be using classroom lab-sites to study the implementation of lessons, analyze children’s thinking (both oral or written), plan student conferences, and create math shares that both support and challenge each child’s mathematical thinking.
In this K-5 Think Tank, we will explore how mathematical models can be used to develop deep reasoning. A new type of model, the Thinking Frame, will also be highlighted as […]
In this Grades 3-5 Think Tank, educators will explore specific assessment tools to analyze students’ mathematical development in fractions. These include paper-and-pencil assessments as well as one-on-one interviews teachers can […]
In this K-2 Think Tank, educators will explore how to develop partner talk through a series of routines that foster collaboration, deep listening, and clear communication. Participants will also examine […]
In this Grades 3-5 Think Tank, educators will explore how to develop computational fluency in rational number through short 5-7 minute reasoning routines. These routines are designed to build critical […]
