Learning Outcomes
K-12 educators will:

• Recognize the benefits of giving students tasks to solve together and time to exchange ideas about their reasoning.
• Reflect on and leverage good reasoning-focused tasks.
• Plan ways to support multilingual learners in becoming increasingly effective as they use language to express and co-construct mathematical ideas with others.

Description
Participants will engage in approximately four hours of self-paced learning. During the eWorkshop, participants will have the opportunity to learn about the benefits of giving students mathematics tasks to solve together and time to exchange ideas about their reasoning as well as how to find and insert reasoning activities into mathematics units. Participants will see and have opportunities to plan ways to support multilingual learners in becoming increasingly effective as they use language to express their own ideas and co-construct ideas with others.
