UC Davis Mathematics Project

Designing "Math that Sticks"

Would you like to increase engagement, connections and retention of student’s mathematical understandings? If so, join our community of math teachers/learners as we examine and apply research based strategies focused on how to create magical math moments to address these challenges.

In each session we will....

  • investigate effective math teaching practices
  • examine inclusive lesson design
  • experience cooperative learning strategies
  • collaborate with peers
  • integrate technology
  • participate in math from a learner’s perspective
  • provide lunch and light snacks

Bring your electronic device and teacher materials - you will be provided time to infuse infuse grade appropriate ideas, understandings, and strategies into your curriculum.

Session Focus:

  • November 2nd: Representation - the what of learning. Exploring the use of different representations and how those representations support students in making sense and learning mathematics.
  • January 25th: Expression - the how of learning; Examining ways to promote more effective student mathematical discourse, including the use of effective questioning strategies.
  • March 14th: Productive Struggle - How do we train students to not give up? We will explore ideas and promote reasoning and sense making.
  • May 2nd: Evidence of student thinking - How do we use evidence of student thinking to promote classroom discussions and engage all students in the learning process. NOTE: This session has been moved to a remote online session. Please see link below for more information.
