Singapore Mathematics with Dr Yeap Ban Har
We are happy to welcome Dr Yeap back to Stockholm. Dr Yeap is a world leading educator in Singapore Mathematics and he will run a one-day course in Stockholm on November 21 for teachers in year 1 – 9. During the course you will learn more about:
Algebraic Thinking Across Grades
This course is about opportunities at algebraic thinking across grade levels. Young students who are not yet ready for symbolic algebra have many opportunities at developing their algebraic thinking. We will look at problems that provides opportunities at pattern observation and generalization as well as the use of bar models to provide algebraic thinking for students. This course is suitable for teachers of any grade who are interested in teaching algebraic thinking to elementary students or older students who struggle with formal algebra.
Teaching Mathematics with a Problem Solving Approach and challenging advanced learners
How do we teach with a problem solving approach and how do we motivate and engage all students in the classroom? We will discuss the essential ideas in teaching mathematics, how we can engage all students and put problem solving at the heart of every lesson. Various instructional approaches and strategies will be discussed through modeling and practical exercises.
Participants will also experience how we can use the anchor tasks in textbooks to challenge advanced learners and gain a lens to look at these anchor tasks for their potential in challenging advanced learners.
