Teaching Math Conceptually Promotes
Student Math Achievement
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
This session will demonstrate how a visually-based
approach to teaching math builds deeper conceptual
mathematical understanding for students. Participants
will experience the visual approach to teaching math,
discover how these practices can be integrated into
daily teaching, and explore the research demonstrating
the effectiveness of this approach. Students embrace
problem solving and challenge when learning through
discovering and questioning, rather than being told
how to solve a problem. These techniques have been
proven to drive student achievement on state tests and
enable all learners to succeed. The intended audience is
for elementary school educator, including teachers and
administrators.
