Children can of course learn the meaning of mathematical ideas when teachers define them and share some examples. But with some tiny “tweaks” to this process children will not only remember these ideas better, they will come to understand them better, AND learn how to construct their own understanding of them. This is conceptual reasoning—a powerful way to empower children with the ability to think about math ideas, concepts and even formulas, to make meaning of their world with math. Come learn about how easy it is to provide your students with this amazing gift of thinking through practical, curriculum specific examples. You will leave energized and enthusiastic!
