NCCAT has been holding a four-session Math Badge series exploring best practices for K-5 math instruction. The instructional components shared in this series lead to strong classroom structures that embrace mathematical thinking and honor students’ instructional needs. Participants could attend all four and earn an NCCAT math badge or attend individual sessions to deepen their own understanding of the necessities of effective math instruction. Today's badge sessions were - "Interventions and Small Group Instruction" and "Authentic Problem-Solving Strategies."
Appreciate these teachers joining us for "Tasks, Tools, and Talk to Support Math Literacy" at NCCAT Ocracoke. Participants learned how to facilitate activities that promote a deeper understanding of the mathematical practices that are the foundation of the 21st-century classroom. They discovered engaging tasks that involve collaboration and problem-solving. It was a week of exploring creative classroom-friendly activities that build mathematical fluency.
