Description

Research shows that thousands of hours of meaningful practice are the key to excellence in mathematics. Because of this, children who are talented in mathematics must not only progress through their curriculum at the proper pace, but they must also be exposed to material that inspires and nurtures their gift.

A failure to find mathematics challenging, interesting, or relevant are significant factors when students lose interest in mathematics. Children who are talented in mathematics must be exposed to material that lights a fire and fuels their gift. This session will give valuable information to help you foster your students’ passion for mathematics.

In this 1-hour course, you will learn:

  • How to nurture a passion for math
  • Important uses for mathematics in real life
  • How to create intriguing worksheets
  • Famous math mistakes
  • The importance of decimals
  • Problem-solving techniques

    I loved listening to the reasoning behind why we should challenge the students where they are in their math journey. I also had some realizations about why learning in different ways is so very important. I plan on doing some challenges from time to time to keep my students interest next year. 😀
