In this webinar, teachers will learn some practical strategies for bringing math concepts to life through engaging questions and tasks. How can you tweak existing tasks to ‘bump up’ thinking and build self-regulation in thinking and learning?  This webinar will help lead the way to small shifts that can make a big difference in student learning.
