2024 NCCTM Annual Fall Conference

The mind of a K-2 student is fertile ground for shaping positive math identity and healthy habits of mind. The reality of the K-2 class schedule suggests that we rarely get 60 minutes a day for math. How do we shape positive identity and develop these habits of mind with such limits on teaching time? We will have to use what we have to get what we want! In this session, we will identify 4 critical thinking habits for math fluency and reasoning and share practical strategies for developing these habits outside of the math lesson. The session will conclude with 3 gifts to share with parents to help promote the same habits from home.
