About the session
Come see what a big self-proclaimed nerd does in math class with inquiry, investigations and visualizations through the use of technology. It’s not just about “math”, per se, as it is about using math and technology as a medium to get students to think critically, engage in their learning and start asking the questions that will lead them toward the enduring understanding about why it is important to problem-solve, inquire and question the “how”. Come. Let's think and have some purposeful play on our laptops together.
