You’re invited! Join Connie Rivera and Amy Vickers for the Transferring Mathematical Understanding to a True Application webinar on Monday, August 21, at 4pm (ET). The webinar will explore the meaning of true application activities and their value to adult learners.
What is true application? Application is a key component of the mathematical instructional shifts of the College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS). True application activities start with questions raised by students, are guided by teachers’ knowledge of standards and progressions, and may have more than one solution. A true application activity:
- requires students to transfer their knowledge and skills to answer a question;
- as multiple entry points, so that students at different levels will be challenged, yet have the possibility of success;
- incorporates student research and reasoning;
- often asks students to make a decision; and
- includes communicating an answer to someone who cares about the outcome.
What isn’t true application? The practice of solving word problems in a math workbook!
