2019 Kansas Excellence in Math and Science Teaching Conference

Teachers will process and develop a problem based learning opportunity revolving around the measurement domain for students at their grade level. Teachers will explore the focus documents to understand how to weave the supporting clusters within the major clusters. Specifically, we will focus on how to implement the measurement clusters as a supporting or major cluster, depending on their grade levels. Teachers will walk away with multiple problem based learning opportunities to share and use in their schools. We will also analyze the components of project based learning as it aligns to mathematics and explore opportunities for integration and implementation with a focus on the standards for mathematical practice and effective mathematics teaching practices.
