Math Workshop

“Along with content knowledge, students need an understanding of the processes

used by mathematicians. They must learn to problem solve, communicate

their ideas, reason through math situations, prove their conjectures,

make connections between and among math concepts, and represent their

mathematical thinking.”

-Susan O’Connell
