106. Advocating for High Quality Math
Instruction: Effectively Responding to Critics
General | Ballroom A/B
Dr. Matt Larson
Past-President, NCTM; Senior Fellow, Math Solutions,
Houghton, Mifflin, Harcourt
The issues and arguments concerning what and how to teach
mathematics today are as old as the United States itself. If we are to
make progress improving the mathematics learning of each and every
student we must stop recycling the same old. This session will engage
participants in exploring implications from the past for our work today as
we create learning opportunities for each and every student and
effectively communicate to parents and the public what meaningful
mathematics learning looks like today and why it is important.
