RE-Imagining Mathematics Workshops Coming Up

From Jamie York Press. We frequently hear about the “crisis” in mathematics education in the US. Jamie York’s re-imagining of the teaching of math is founded on a deeply held belief that we need to redefine the purpose and nature of math. Math isn’t about getting through a text book, teaching procedures blindly. Math should be an adventure for both the teacher and the student. The ability to overcome challenge and to struggle is part of the adventure. Fear is not. Yet, too often, fear that a child will lose in the race to “get ahead” compels educators and parents to overload students with too many topics. The consequence is superficial and rote learning. This series of two stand-alone workshops focuses on the core principles for teaching mathematics to develop the thinking human beings we need to meet the needs of today’s world.
