Three Part Lessons ~ What is a Math Congress? - Teaching Rocks!

After discussing the concept of Bansho and Gallery Walk, we move onto another instructional strategy that supports the development of mathematical thought. This last part is called Math Congress. While every child’s solutions are valuable, we as teachers are always in need to be effective communicators and efficient in the ever-stringent timetables we face on a daily basis. This strategy allows for us to have whole class discussions on two or three, carefully chosen student solutions where connections can be made to every student’s mathematical learning.
