It is very hard to shift your teaching FROM a teacher-focused lesson, with you doing all the instruction and kids just listening TO more of a student-centered lesson where kids think, discuss, debate, & wonder while you facilitate the mathematical learning.
That’s where the pillars of The Flexibility Formula come in. By focusing on The Flexibility Formula pillars you will help kids build their math minds and not just create calculators, by seeing math as something that can’t be taught….it’s caught.
All the speakers in the summit are here to help you as you shift your teaching. Each speaker addresses at least one of The Flexibility Formula pillars. The pillars are explained in more detail in your Summit Workbook.
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.
