Effective Teaching Practices in High School Mathematics
October 15, 2024 @ 8:30 am - 4:00 pm
Led by Dr. Melissa Boston, Professor of Mathematics at Duquesne University. Join us at the Allegheny Intermediate Unit to learn about why it is important and how to help students engage in productive math talk to make sense of important mathematical content at the high school level.
This 3-day session will focus on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) “Effective Teaching Practices,” featured in the book “Taking Action in Grades 9-12 Mathematics.” We will explore how high school mathematics lessons can incorporate “tasks and talk” that:
- promote thinking, reasoning, and problem solving,
- increase student engagement and perseverance, and
- prompt students to build procedural fluency from a conceptual understanding of essential procedures in high school mathematics.
Price: $450/person*
Audience: Secondary mathematics teachers, coaches, and interventionist in grades 8-12.
When: November 22, 2024; December 5, 2024; and January 10, 2025
Where: In-person at the Allegheny Intermediate Unit
Act 48 hours will be awarded pending approval by PDE for those who attend all sessions and complete related assignments.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn and grow! See you there at East Waterfront Drive, Homestead, PA, USA.
