Leading the Way: Leveraging CGI to Support Children's Mathematical Thinking
Our two days together are designed to deepen our understanding of Cognitively Guided Instruction research foundations while developing our practice of supporting other teachers to better listen and respond to children's mathematical thinking. We will engage in math learning opportunities together, analyze videos and artifacts of children's mathematical thinking, collaborate around instructional next steps, and make mathematics connections across a range of content spanning early counting, operating on single- and multi-digit numbers, and fractions/decimals.
Dates/Times: October 29-30, 2024; 8:30-3:00 | Location: Eagle Eye Banquet Center (15500 Chandler Rd, Bath Twp, MI 48808)
Audience:
ISD Early Math Specialists
ISD/RESA Math Consultants
District Leaders (Coaches, Principals, Lead Teachers)
GELN Members
Facilitator: Dr. Angela Chan Turrou, Researcher | Teacher Educator, University of California, Los Angeles
In this session, participants will explore the following questions:
How does the CGI approach help educators in bringing the Early Math Essentials and the Values to life?
What does a math environment in a classroom using the CGI approach look like and sound like?
What are the trajectories for single, multi-digit and equal sharing problems? How might educators utilize them in making instructional decisions?
What are the different problem types and why might they be important?
In what ways might educators need to be supported to use the CGI approach?
