Do you want to develop self-sufficient, independent thinkers? Are your students struggling with how to start a math problem or effectively communicate their understanding of the content? This session will focus on the effective planning of the process standards to support students with “Tools to Know” to initiate the problem-solving process and “Ways to Show” their understanding of the content.

This workshop includes:

• Rubric for evaluating students’ use of the process standards
• Identification of the different types of mathematical thinkers and how to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of ALL students
• Instructional strategies for supporting students with how to start the problem-solving process and/or communicate their understanding of mathematics
