Outcomes: The BST seminar is designed to bring together teachers from
Kindergarten through eight grades to:
|
Analyze the key mathematical ideas of the
base-ten number system and recognize how they are applied in multidigit
computation with whole numbers and decimals |
|
Learn how these core mathematical ideas develop from
Kindergarten through grade 8, including what many students find especially
challenging |
|
Consider the types of classroom settings and
teaching strategies that support the development of student understanding |
|
Recognize
how the CCSSM mathematical practices arise in this content and learn to engage students
in the practices, with particular focus on MP3 (construct viable arguments and
critique the reasoning of others), MP7 (look for and make use of structure),
and MP8 (look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning) |
