OKE 2017 Math Night - Parent Workshop
Monday, December 4, 2017 6:30 -8:00pm
Greg Tang makes sense of new and unfamiliar teaching methods by focusing on three important aspects of effective math instruction: visualization, reasoning and number sense. Parents come away with an instant appreciation of visual models, number bonds, and the work our teachers are doing, and in a stunning turnaround, even the most vocal critics become supportive and interested in learning more.
