TQE Process Facilitator's Guide for High School Mathematics Teaching - Empower Students to Solve Math Problems Independently | Ideal for Classroom Instruction & Self-Study

Product Description Making Sense of Mathematics for Teaching High School utilizes video, group discussion, and activities to help teachers engage in mathematics as both learners and instructors. The workshop explores meaningful tasks for learners/teachers of mathematics; examines the task, question, and evidence (TQE) process; and provides a shared vision of classrooms where teachers and students are engaged in meaningful mathematics learning experiences.Benefits:High-quality footage demonstrating classroom mathematics instructionIn-depth exploration of what best practices in mathematics instruction looks like at the appropriate grade levelThe foundation to connect prior knowledge to new learningA facilitator's guide with tailored activities and strategies to reinforce participants' knowledgeA CD with an electronic facilitator's guide for ease of useA copy of Making Sense of Mathematics for Teaching High School paperback editionContents: 1.
