Description
This session explores components of effective curriculum and instruction for talented math students, such as promoting an in-depth conceptual understanding, providing engaging and challenging learning experiences, encouraging students to develop the skills of a practicing mathematician, and requiring students to think critically and creatively during in-depth mathematical investigations. Participants examine lessons from the Project M³: Mentoring Mathematical Minds units and think critically about how the curriculum components and instructional practices relate to the ways they are addressing the needs of their mathematically talented students.
No items are available for this session.
