Mathematical Initiatives and Methods in The Middle Grades

The course will start by developing teaching ideas and methods in a math classroom in the middle grades to reach, challenge, and engage all learners. Participants’ mindsets, cultures, and experiences will be brought out and developed to create stronger problem solvers who persevere and are not afraid to try other strategies. The second part of the course will help teachers plan and facilitate cross-content lessons and units throughout the middle grades through the lens of the STEAM initiative. Students will be expected to share ideas both synchronously and asynchronously.
