Symposium Description: As many teachers look to add high-yield tasks to their repertoire, the struggle to make it all work becomes real. Let's examine how problem-based lessons can be used throughout the scope of a unit and how we can harness their power to move student thinking forward. We'll identify strategies and explore tasks that help us find a healthy balance between application, conceptual understanding, and procedural fluency.
The Progression Videos are a series of videos that show how math concepts build and grown through the grade levels.
This session will address the proposed 2022 MN Academic Standard for Mathematics Number Five, Number Relationships.

Differentiation in Mathematics Classrooms
In many math curriculum guides, differentiation is often extra pages at the end of a lesson and often aimed at those students who need additional support to be at grade level. Differentiation is not a synonym for intervention or ability grouping. Tier 1 differentiation is about low floor-high ceiling, strength asset universal design approach to instruction. This month's MathBits article highlighting the new professional development materials found on the Minnesota STEM Teacher Center website focuses. on Cluster 4: Differentiation. Read more here and the more extensive material on the website.
