An Introduction to Argumentation for Grades 3-9
2024-05-28 09:00 - 12:00 | Online, Santa Cruz
Join our math teacher leaders to experience SMP 3 Argumentation and its connections with SMP 6, 7, and 8. Through hands-on experiences, you will learn how to form, collect, and revise conjectures. Then you will collect more evidence and construct a class conjecture. The group will collaboratively draft a justification. The team will be explicit about ways to facilitate and support argumentation in your classroom. Participants will receive a copy of “Teaching with Mathematical Argument: Strategies for Supporting Everyday Instruction” by Stylianou and Blanton.
