The Three R's: Rigor, Relevance and Reality
Effective learning comes through education that is rigorous and relevant. Big Ideas Learning will help you involve every student in the learning process. With strategies that apply mathematics in a practical and relevant setting, we show you how to engage students so that they not only understand what you are teaching, but they retain it. This hands-on, practical workshop integrates theory with real world examples and gives teachers the opportunity to practice moving from a knowledge-based classroom to one that is filled with inquiry, investigation, and experimentation.
Taught in a single day, the workshop includes exercises and examples from the mathematics classroom, so that skills taught in the workshop can be applied immediately!
