Event Description
Modeling WITH Mathematics: Middle School Grades 6-8
Course Description:

Modeling with mathematics is one of the most misunderstood Standards for Mathematical Practice, yet it is essential for ALL students to master.
Participants will
  • experience an instructional routine that builds students' capacity to make sense of models and to develop questions to ask themselves when modeling.
  • learn about designs for interaction that build opportunities for students to develop mathematical language and process the ideas and concepts of modeling.
Please note:
Participants who teach in Kentucky will receive a copy of the new book Teaching for Thinking. This book was due to be released late 2021; however, due to production delays, the new publication date is February 1, 2022. The authors have given Dee Crescitelli permission to use some materials from the book even though it will not be available for the first couple of sessions of this professional learning event. 
*Participants who teach outside of Kentucky will need to purchase their own book for this course.
