“Building Math Residue with Lessons that Stick”
Presented by: Graham Fletcher
Many times throughout the school year, we
teach a lesson and the understanding we thought
students had is quickly forgotten. Let's explore
how task selection and intentional sequence of
activities plays a pivotal role in helping students
make connections so that new understanding
can stick.
Page 1WVCTM encourages West Virginia mathematics educators to
consider joining or renewing your membership with NCTM.
You can find out more on the NCTM membership options and
benefits at https://www.nctm.org/membership/. If you do join as
a new member or renew your current membership, please
consider using reference code WVCTMLC22 when you
register by 5/31/2022. WVCTM will get a reimbursement from
