builds the bridge to algebraic thinking.<br />
—FEATURED WORKSHOP—<br />
SD02 Why Students Hate Word Problems (Gr. K–8)<br />
Dan Meyer<br />
The fault lies not with our students but with the quality of the word problems<br />
themselves, restricted far too long by the paper they’re printed on. As<br />
we start to deliver curricula digitally, we need to reckon seriously with the<br />
reasons and effective methods for connecting math to the world outside<br />
the math classroom. Join Dan for a hands‐on exploration.<br />
SD03 Math Mastery through the 6 Levels of Knowing Math<br />
(Gr. K–8)<br />

to math mastery! You’ll break down the three components of a math<br />
idea—linguistic, conceptual, and procedural. You’ll learn how an idea<br />
passes through six levels of knowing—intuitive, concrete, pictorial/representational,<br />
abstract/symbolic, and application—to achieve the procedural<br />
level. And, you’ll learn how to use this insight to improve student learning<br />
and success for a lifetime!<br />
AFTERNOON Sessions 1:00-2:15 pm<br />
