Workshop Overview

In this we will dive into concept-based approach to mathematics education, focusing on the “Big Ideas” that forms the foundation of mathematical understanding. By identifying and emphasizing these core concepts, educators can help students develop a deeper, more transferable grasp of mathematical principles. This approach aims to move beyond rote memorization, instead fostering an environment where students can unpack complex ideas and accelerate their learning through improved metacognition.

The workshop encourages educators to reconsider and potentially restructure their mathematics curriculum, organizing it around these fundamental concepts to create a more cohesive and interconnected learning experience. Participants will explore evidence-based teaching practices designed to enhance their pedagogical skills and create more engaging, rigorous, and joyful mathematics lessons.
