The Power of Productive Struggle: Building Resilient Thinkers in K–8 Math Classrooms
The Power of Productive Struggle: Building Resilient Thinkers
Discover how purposeful challenge builds stronger mathematicians. In this session, we’ll explore how high‑cognitive‑demand tasks, structured math discourse, and simple metacognitive routines help students persevere, think deeply, and develop true mathematical resilience. Learn practical strategies you can use tomorrow to turn productive struggle into confident, independent problem solving in K–8 math classrooms.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
-
Strategies to strengthen math outcomes through purposeful challenge and deeper conceptual learning.
-
Practical approaches to increase rigor and discourse across K–8 classrooms.
-
Simple, sustainable routines that build student resilience.
-
Ready-to-use tools that drive independent problem solving.
