Student Engagement in Mathematics, Part 2: Open/Parallel Tasks and Choice Boards

Open and parallel tasks involving reasoning and modeling will be explored with an emphasis on differentiation.

This workshop series presents student engagement through a variety of strategies in mathematics. Four strategies – Problem Solving with Graphic Organizers, Math Stations using Comparison and Computation Boards, Open and Parallel Tasks with Math Sentence Starters, and Choice Boards with math menus and point boards will be explored. Creating a numeracy rich environment will be modeled and discussed in both sessions.

Open and parallel tasks involving reasoning and modeling will be explored with an emphasis on differentiation. Number sense, computation and fluency will be presented through choice boards with math menus and point boards along with numeracy exercises. Student engagement through whole group instruction and small group instruction will be modeled and discussed. Participants will receive digital copies of all sample lessons, materials and templates modeled in the workshop.

Scheduling additional work sessions would be beneficial to allow time for the creation of lessons.  Follow-up coaching sessions are encouraged to provide additional support and ensure a deeper understanding of the strategies presented in the workshop.
