Principles from cognitive science can help us understand how students learn, which in turn can inform teaching. In this webinar, we will explore principles from cognitive science that are particularly relevant to teaching math. What does retrieval practice look like in a math classroom? How should student practice be structured to maximize student success? To what extent should concepts be broken down when teaching novice learners? These topics, along with other evidence-based strategies for improving student success in math, will be discussed.
 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants will be able to:

  • Discover how human cognitive architecture impacts math learning
  • Explore evidence-backed ideas for improving success in math
  • Learn how to help students retain math skills over time
  • Identify the best ways to structure student practice in math


WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This seminar is applicable to anyone who teaches K-12 math, at any grade level.
