Description

The Mathematical Practices are the behaviors students must engage in to become mathematically proficient. However, many teachers lower their expectations for students who quickly give up when they try to solve word problems. This is especially true for students who have internalized negative stereotypes about who is and isn't mathematically smart. In this session, participants will learn how to use a tool to help students make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
