Title:  Integrating the Mathematical Practices in Mathematics for Elementary Teachers Courses

Speaker:   Dr. Meg Moss

Sponsoring Committee:   Teacher Preparation

Date:  Thursday, April 23, 2015

Time:   3:00pm EDT / 2:00pm CDT / 1:00pm MDT / NOON PDT

Description:   This webinar will explore the eight Mathematical Practices of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. Opportunities to experience the Mathematical Practices allow preservice elementary teachers students to see mathematics as much more than a set of rules to memorize.  Specific problems, tasks, and activities related to each of the practices will be shared with participants. Because we often teach the way we are taught, including the Mathematical Practices in math content courses is vital in supporting their implementation in the classrooms of these future teachers.
