IM’s problem-based lessons are designed to allow students to
solve problems in ways that make sense to them. During the activity, students
engage in a problem in meaningful ways and teachers monitor to uncover and
nurture conceptual understandings. During the activity synthesis, students
collectively reveal multiple approaches to a problem and make connections
between these approaches (MP3). This session will discuss how to “explicitly”
plan for this type of problem and how to facilitate it. In addition to the 5
Practices, the IM curriculum uses center activities to give students time to
practice skills and concepts that are developed across the year. Some
activities provide an opportunity to go deeper with specific math content and
some help develop grade-level fluency. In this session, we will look at how
these two key pieces support students learning across the curriculum.
The zoom links will be sent out the day before the session.
