As secondary math teachers know, a history of struggle in math class starts to snowball as students move from K-5 to middle school, and then into high school. A lack of prerequisite skills makes it difficult for students to engage in grade-level learning, and over time many students come to believe they aren’t “good at math” -- and that they will *never* be. In this session, participants will learn a proven, 5-part process educators can use to teach rigorous content while "bridging the gap," both in terms of students' confidence and understanding the mathematics itself.
Recommended Grade Level: 6 - 12
