For many parents, teachers, and children, math is about getting right answers, usually as quickly as possible. But is that really all we want for students? I don’t think so. My goal as a math teacher is less about getting answers, but more about developing students who can reason, analyze, make sense of mathematical situations and relate new mathematical situations to familiar ones. 

This session will focus on what we, as educators, need to do differently to make that happen. 

There will be many very specific examples at all levels from K - 6.
