Make Student Thinking the Main Event:

Evidence-Based Practices for Engaging Math Learners

Join us in Ames in on Tuesday, September 22nd for a workshop for all K-12 math educators and district leadership presented by Savvas Learning.

What if students—not the teacher—were the ones doing most of the mathematical thinking, explaining, and making sense of ideas?

In this interactive session, experience practical strategies that shift the focus from teacher explanation to student thinking and reflection. Explore and practice engaging routines such as Math Congresses, Gallery Walks, and peer-sharing protocols that give every student opportunities to share ideas, justify their reasoning, learn from classmates, and build confidence.

Then, bring some play into mathematics! Discover how purposeful math games can strengthen mental problem solving, mathematical communication, strategic thinking, and skill fluency while helping students develop a positive relationship with mathematics.

Walk away with practical, ready-to-use strategies that put student thinking, collaboration, and mathematical joy at the center of learning.

Mark your calendars and register now.
