1. Concept-Based Mathematics: Teaching for Deep Understanding February 6th – March 5th 2017

Students must be able to understand the increasing amount of information and knowledge. We need to develop students’ ability to critically think and reason, in order to solve complex problems and create new ideas.

1. Concept-Based Mathematics: Teaching for Deep Understanding February 6th – March 5th 2017

This book includes secondary math examples. This course will provide primary and early math examples.

Traditional curriculum focuses on rules and procedures with little attention paid to the conceptual relationships of mathematics—and mathematics is a language of conceptual relationships. Traditional curriculum is often based on a superficial understanding of concepts and does not teach. for Transferability or to consider context

Students must be able to understand the increasing amount of information and knowledge. We need to develop students’ ability to critically think and reason, in order to solve complex problems and create new ideas.

Testimonials

“I attended a workshop on Concept-Based Mathematics in Luxembourg facilitated by Jennifer Chang Wathall in January 2017. Jennifer does such a great job of addressing and allowing time for everyone’s thoughts and questions, while also keeping us on track to dig into the good stuff. It was definitely a productive, worthwhile, wonderful 2 days! Thanks again for a great weekend, Jennifer! I’m looking forward to digging into all of the resources, synthesizing my notes from the weekend and sharing with my curriculum heads and math colleagues.”

“I attended a Concept-Based Curriculum training course led by Jennifer and was really inspired by what I learned. Far too often, as teachers, we can become narrowly focused on the ‘topics’ that we are covering; with concepts there is a whole new opportunity for students to understand the ‘big ideas’ and the connections between different subjects. Jennifer skilfully guided us through how we can introduce students to a concept-based curriculum. I was really impressed with the method of writing ‘principles, generalisations’ which provide a framework for exploration. These generalisations can in fact make the focus of a lesson or series of lessons much more exciting, allowing students to break out of the constraints of a limited topic range. Ultimately, I left the course determined to try out a concepts based model with a new unit we are developing on Human Rights. With the conceptual lens, this promises to be a much more thought-provoking unit for our students.”
