Relational Learning in Mathematics
Thursday July 25, 2024 1:30pm - 2:15pm EDT
Room 12

Relational learning is what current math standards are expecting of our students, and ultimately makes our students college and career ready.
• Recognize instrumental/procedural teaching practices and how they may help or hinder student understanding.
• Move from being an instrumental educator towards teaching for relational learning.
