Teaching Math Problem Solving in Grades 3-8

Participants will: integrate problem-solving into math instruction; practice strategies to engage all students in the problem-solving process regardless of reading &/or math ability; utilize techniques, strategies, and activities from the course in their own classrooms or with their own students; identify resources that can be used to gather materials for problem-solving; describe the relationship and connections between problem-solving and the Standards of Mathematical Practice; utilize technology for encouraging mathematical discussions (such as Google Classroom) so that they can incorporate this technology with their students.
