About this event

  • 77 days 3 hours

Argumentation is not arguing. It is mathematical reasoning and critical thinking. It is learning high-cognitive demand mathematics and language development through the context of argumentation.


Join our team of teacher leaders for three VIRTUAL sessions of professional learning.

  • Aug. 17, 2024    9 AM to Noon
  • Sept. 28, 2024   9 AM to Noon
  • Nov. 2, 2024   9 AM to Noon

We planned time between sessions for you to explore argumentation with your students.


Our Goals for these sessions include:

  • Understand the argumentation phases: explore, gather evidence, draft and revise conjectures, craft a justification
  • Develop an understanding of ways to facilitate and support argumentation in your classroom
  • Be ready to convince others of the value of combining math learning and argumentation learning.


*Participants will receive a set of handouts, directions for each argumentation activity, and a copy of the book

UC San Diego Mathematics Project

The UC San Diego Mathematics Project is one of 20 sites of the California Mathematics Project (cmpso.org) which is supported by the State of California and administered by the University of California Office of the President. Housed in the Center for Research on Equity, Assessment and Teaching Excellence (CREATE) at UC San Diego, this effort draws strength from increased collaboration with San Diego County Office of Education, other California Mathematics Projects, California Subject Matter Projects, school districts, colleges and universities.

The goal of the UC San Diego Mathematics Project is to develop teacher leaders who will support classroom teachers in the journey to deepen their own understanding and proficiency with the CaCCSS-M and effective pedagogy. Visit our website for more information.
