Book Study Background:
In an age when distance learning has become part of the "new normal," educators know that rich remote math teaching involves more than direct instruction, online videos, and endless practice problems on virtual worksheets.
Using both personal experience and those of teachers in real K-12 online classrooms, distance learning mathematics veteran Theresa Wills translates all we know about research based equitable, rigorous face-to-face mathematics instruction into an online venue.
This powerful guide equips math teachers to:
- Build students agency, identity, and strong math communities
- Promote mathematical thinking, collaboration, and discourse
- Incorporate rich mathematics task and assign meaningful homework and practice
- Facilitate engaging online math instruction using virtual manipulatives and other concrete learning tools
- Recognize and address equity and inclusion challenges associated with distance learning
- Assess mathematics learning from a distance
With examples across all grades K-12, links to tutorials and templates, and opportunities to reflect and plan this book: Teaching Math at a Distance, offers the support, clarity, and inspiration needed to guide teachers through teaching math remotely without sacrificing deep learning and academic growth.
In addition, throughout this year of pandemic online teaching we have learned may new ways to Teach Math with Technology that we will want to incorporate into our in-person instruction. We ask that you reflect on these teaching with technology techniques and determine which will help with student engagement and understanding even during in-person instruction. Which strategies will you use?
