How can we design math lessons that foster deep, meaningful thinking? In this interactive professional learning experience, we'll dive into the Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs) to explore their impact on student learning. You'll gain a deeper understanding of these essential practices and apply them to refine or create lessons that promote mathematical reasoning, discourse, and sense-making. Walk away with practical strategies and ready-to-use lesson ideas that empower students to think and reason like mathematicians! Virtual Synchronous: August 4th on Zoom 8:30-11:30 (link will be provided) Asynchronous work due in two parts Part 1: August 8, 2025 which includes learning and application Part 2: August 12, 2025 which includes gallery walk, reflection, and feedback Cost: Fully funded by STEM SSOS
