While many students are able to perform computations, some of those same students struggle when challenged to apply their computational skills to solve math problems. Rather than relying on memorized procedures, the ability to solve...
MoreSue O’Connell will be speaking at the following conferences in the fall of 2022: Sept. 28 – National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) Annual Conference, Anaheim, CA – 10:45am...
MoreWhat can we do in the first weeks of school to set the stage for the coming year? Are there skills that may need revisited after the summer break? Is there information we’d like to gather about our students to help us plan our early lessons? Are...
MoreJoin Sue for a free Hand2Mind webinar on Aug. 9, 4-4:45 (CT). We’ll talk about the power of math games to get your school year started off right! Not only will students love the games, but they are revisiting skills from the prior year and...
MoreWe recognize the power of reading a good story. But what might a good story bring to our math lessons? How might it enhance our teaching and spur student discovery? How might it support the development of problem solving? How might it extend math...
MoreJoin me for a 3-part webinar series titled: Tips, Tools, and Resources for Building Math Understanding. The series begins March 24, 2022 and runs for 3 consecutive Thursdays from 6:00-7:15pm EST. If you are unable to join live, you will have...
MoreRather than a focus on memorizing teacher-taught algorithms to arrive at correct answers, today’s math standards focus on computational fluency, conceptual understanding, and application (problem solving). So, how do we shift the focus...
