Imagine a classroom where every student is engaged in rich, challenging mathematical tasks, persistently working through problems that push their understanding to new levels. What if you could foster an environment where students view struggle not as a roadblock, but as a path to deeper learning and success? This session is your gateway to transforming your classroom through the intentional integration of productive struggle. You’ll walk away with actionable strategies to balance procedural fluency and conceptual understanding, align tasks to meet the rigor of the TEKS, and leverage Research-Based Instructional Strategies (RBIS). Explore a variety of strategies that reinforce the connections between mathematical concepts and provide opportunities for practice, discussion, and representation, all essential for fostering productive struggle in your students. Join us to discover how you can enhance your teaching practice, ensure equity, and elevate mathematical excellence in your classroom. Let's redefine the narrative around struggle and celebrate it as an essential part of learning in mathematics.
