Orientation to Using think!Mathematics
Virtual
“A curriculum is more for teachers than it is for pupils. If it cannot change, move, perturb, inform teachers, it will have no effect on those whom they teach. It must be first and foremost a curriculum for teachers. If it has any effect on pupils, it will have it by virtue of having had an effect on teachers.” – Bruner, 1977
At Mathodology, our goal is to help teachers understand how think!Mathematics supports student learning. Research shows that how a curriculum is used impacts learning opportunities for both teachers and students. This summer, Mathodology will help teachers explore curriculum resources and tools while discovering new methods for delivering effective lessons.
Join us to enhance your understanding of think!Mathematics and improve your teaching strategies.
