How can we motivate students, get them thinking about math in their world and use inquiry and integration? Get them outside and involved in community projects. It’s easier than you think. Delivering the curriculum and turning kids on to math and critical thinking is literally a walk in the park. This session empowers participants to get started doing just that. From the “how to” to specific examples and a plethora of practical ideas, teachers will be able to start the next day with confidence.
Audience: This webinar presents examples of work from K-6 but is applicable to any grade level.
