Overview
Traditional curriculum focuses on rules and procedures with little attention to the conceptual relationships of mathematics.
Mathematics is a language of conceptual relationships.
Traditional curriculum often assumes the deep understanding of concepts, and fails to teach for transferability, or to consider context.
This workshop will cover the concept-based curriculum design model specifically for mathematics.
All content will be based on Jennifer Chang-Wathall’s book Concept Based Mathematics:Teaching for Deep Understanding in Secondary Schools.
What will be addressed?
Why is it important for students to learn conceptually? What are the facts, processes and concepts in mathematics? How do I craft generalizations in mathematics?
How do I plan units of work for concept-based mathematics curriculum?
How do I captivate and engage students? Practical strategies for the classroom. How do I integrate technology to foster conceptual understanding?
Who should participate?
Early Years, Primary and 4econdary mathematics teachers.
Mathematics resources will be differentiated for early years, primary and secondary sections.
