Developing Mathematical Habits of Mind: CME Project Implementation Workshops
Learn about the structure and philosophy of the CME Project mathematics curriculum for grades 8–12 in workshops
led by authors and experienced teachers. Prepare to teach CME Project and gain confidence with the materials.
Delve into the mathematics of CME Project and analyze the underlying pedagogical ideas as you address practical implementation issues such as pacing, differentiation, and assessment. Learn innovative approaches to develop students' "mathematical ways of thinking" or mathematical habits of mind, and see how mathematical ideas, skills, and themes are introduced early and strengthened throughout the program. By the end of the five days, you will leave with a deeper understanding of CME Project and strategies to deepen student understanding of high school mathematics and beyond.
Our workshops are designed for teachers who are new to the curriculum and for coaches who support CME Project implementation. They also are ideal for administrators and curriculum leaders who would like to understand the content and pedagogy of the curriculum.
Sessions: Choose from two concurrent workshop sessions.
-
CME Project Algebra
This session focuses on Algebra of CME Project. Experience approaches to key topics in algebra and think about how these ideas translate to practice. Engage in and recognize applications of habits of mind that are characteristically algebraic including seeking regularity through repeated calculations, looking for patterns, and recognizing simple structures in complex equations (chunking).
-
CME Project Algebra and Geometry
This session focuses on Algebra and Geometry of CME Project. Engage in novel approaches for teaching key concepts in algebra and geometry and explore techniques to develop students' algebraic ways of thinking and habits of mind that underlie geometry and analysis such as reasoning by continuity, using approximation, and seeking invariants.
