‘Designing a mathematical story for your students’
Leslie Dietiker
[A qr code with a dinosaur  AI-generated content may be incorrect.]



  *   How do students describe mathematics lessons?
  *   Interesting? Intriguing? Exciting?
  *   Dry? Boring? Dull?
  *   What would you predict students would say?
  *   What would you want them to say?

This ‘pop up’ CPD presentation will share how six high school math teachers in the US used the mathematical story framework to design lessons that students described as intriguing.

Wednesday 12th March
16.30 for 17.00 start. Finishing 18.15
