Coherence Cycle Full-Day Workshop (Brooklyn)
Teaching with coherence in mind means recognizing the ways in which new learning builds off previous understandings. In a coherence cycle, participants are invited to develop their own understanding of content and pedagogy around a particular mathematical topic, through the lens of coherence.
What is the meaning of subtraction? Can you add to subtract? How does taking away relate to finding the difference? In this coherence cycle, participants will explore the operation of subtraction. Through a content workshop, an opportunity to conduct math interviews with students, and a pedagogy workshop, participants will consider the language, tools, and progression of ideas we can build from to help students make sense of subtraction.
The cycle will culminate with a lesson study at PS 321 on Wednesday, February 12th. Teachers are welcome to attend the Full Day Workshop only, the Lesson Study only, or both days.
