through interacting with each other and their teachers. Participants will engage in
activities that enhance their knowledge of problem-based instruction, as they explore
how it develops conceptual understanding in students. Participants will walk away with
effective strategies for using problem solving to enhance students’ learning and tools to
engage students in interactive learning.

NCTM Principles to Actions: Building procedural fluency from conceptual understanding is one of the eight NCTM Effective
