Why do students so often dislike math more than other subjects? And why do math classes sometimes feel as though they lack purpose?
—
Some of the most challenging questions in math education can be addressed by giving students opportunities to create.
Creativity is one of the most essential human drives, but it’s often missing from math classrooms. In this webinar, Dan Meyer, Ph.D., will explore how teachers can nurture creativity through the questions they ask, the habits they develop, and the lessons they design.
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation about what creative math classrooms can look like and how to create more opportunities for students to see mathematics as something they do, not simply something they answer.
In this webinar, we’ll explore:
-
Why creativity belongs at the center of math learning.
-
How student creation can make math feel more purposeful.
-
The questions and habits that support creative thinking.
-
Lesson-design approaches that invite students to explore, make, and revise.
-
Ways to respond when students see math as disconnected from real life.
