March 10, 2010
Join this webinar to learn about the new Reasoning and Sense Making guidelines the National Council of Teachers of Math (NCTM) has released in 2009. We will also explore examples from the classroom that illustrate how reasoning and sense making can be part of polynomial lessons, part of making connections across the curriculum and can be part of problem solving.
