The Center for Science, Mathematics and Computer Education is happy to have retired educator Lenny Vermaas as the guest speaker for the April Online Nebraska Math Teachers’ Circle! Join us Monday, April 19, at 6:30 p.m. Central.
In “Using 'Math Routines' to Promote Student Discourse and Develop Conceptual Understanding,” Lenny will discuss how math routines can be used at the beginning of class, end of class, as a warm up activity, formative assessment, part of a learning center, hallway bulletin board, or as a class lesson. The group will look at a variety of low floor, high ceiling activities to see how a few minutes can provide large dividends to help students enjoy learning math and develop problem solving strategies. Open Middle, Which One Doesn’t Belong, Picture equations, Cube conversations, and Estimation 180 are a few of the sites that we will experience.
Math Teachers’ Circles (MTC) bring together math teachers and mathematicians with the goal to discover and pass along to students the excitement and richness of problem solving in deep yet accessible mathematics topics.
