with Mike Flynn & Zak Champagne
This session begins in
This session demonstrates how to transform geometry instruction from a "tacked-on" unit into an engaging, experiential learning journey by CONNECTING intuitive UNDERSTANDING with the formal concepts through hands-on exploration, visual representations, and student-generated discoveries. Mike Flynn and Zak Champagne share practical routines and activities that help you create rich geometric EXPERIENCES.
I’ve made it easy for you to take the information and inspiration from the virtual math summit sessions and implement it into your classroom so that you can start to become a Recovering Traditionalist. Capture all the amazing ideas, take notes and plan what the next steps are that you’ll put in place in your classroom with your Virtual Math Summit Workbook. If you registered for the VMS Summit you already received this resource via email. If you are watching this session and have not registered, do so now and get the Summit Workbook.
At the END of the Virtual Math Summit, we will email summit registrants a link to a Certificate Request form. We do this so that your sessions can be consolidated into one certificate. If you are watching this session but never registered for the Virtual Math Summit and you want a certificate and the VMS Workbook, click the button below to register and ensure you receive the emails about certificates.
