This Learning Opportunity is a series of 3 Days (when you register, you are registering for all 3 dates)

We know that problem solving is an effective way for students to think mathematically and to acquire deep knowledge and understanding of the mathematics they are learning.  Simply problemizing the mathematics curriculum, however, does not help constitute the practice that teachers want or students need.  Equally, infusion of problem-based learning into the mathematics curriculum does not help with the transformations we want to see in our classrooms.  In this presentation, Dr. Peter Liljedahl looks at a series of such tools, emerging from research, that can help to build an environment conducive to problem-based learning.  He will unpack his research that has demonstrated that problem-based learning environment and culture can quickly be established, even in classrooms where students resist change.

Lunch is included with registration.
