Grades 7 & 8: Critical Transition Years
This workshop is geared to Intermediate Teachers who often have large gaps to fill in their students’ learning, while covering the grade-level curricular expectations. Through a mixture of hands-on activity, group discussion and resource exploration, workshop participants will learn how to engage their learners with purposeful math skill-building activities, channel their attention to vital structures and ideas in mathematics, and to further develop skills in goal-setting, organized planning, productive follow-through and reflective practice. Participants will also learn the most essential math skills that are needed for students who will stream into academic or applied mathematics in high school.
