Conceptual Understanding of Math
Yes, I want to receive Course Discount Offers and learn about New Courses
This course is designed to give educators an understanding of the attributes commonly associated with a conceptually-based mathematics lesson. You will read and discuss the theory and research behind conceptual learning while comparing and discriminating conceptually-based lessons with traditional procedurally-based lessons. You will design a Making the Connections section of a lesson and explore the importance of questioning in conceptual learning. (This course was previously a 1 hour class and has now been converted to a 2 hour class.)
