In Person: Problem Solving (Math)

_{This workshop is part of our longstanding math series and is a great opportunity to meet and talk with other teachers of mathematics!}

This workshop seeks answers to two key questions: What do good problem solvers think about? How can we teach students to be better problem solvers? In this workshop, participants will:

• Break down the process of problem-solving into a protocol of questions
• Help students gradually develop independence as problem solvers
• Become more conscious of a wider range of problem-solving strategies.
• Detect and address student errors using purposeful questions and evidence of their thinking
• All participants will receive color problem-solving posters!
