From Math by Memorizing to Math by Understanding

Mission Math: On demand

About the session

We must ensure that each and every student receives a high quality mathematics education that promotes reasoning throughout the grades. Kevin Dykema, President of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) explores how reasoning and understanding better meets the needs of our students than memorization of procedures. Join as we look at several examples and discuss what we can do to help our students better engage in this deep thinking.
