The traditional "I do, we do, you do" model of mathematics instruction often prioritizes speed and memorization over genuine comprehension. This workshop is designed for secondary educators (Grades 6–12) who want to move beyond the textbook. We will explore how to design "low-floor, high-ceiling" tasks, foster meaningful mathematical discourse, and shift the cognitive lift from the teacher to the students.

OBJECTIVES

• Identify the difference between procedural fluency and conceptual depth.
• Design and adapt existing curriculum problems into rich, open-ended tasks.
• Facilitate classroom discussions that require students to justify their reasoning.
• Implement highly engaging instructional strategies.
