Innovative Global Education

Workshop Descriptor: 
Inquiry driven classrooms create vast adisciplinary units driven by students’ fascination with the world around them. Although teachers recognize that maths are fundamental to that world, building a similar frame for student driven exploration that generates interest and fascination for numeracy and algebraic thinking.
Seymour Papert ‘s “Mathland” thought experiment suggests that as a young person will naturally learn to speak the language that surrounds them on a daily basis, a person living where the language of mathematics is integral and useful to everyday challenges would naturally acquire math skills. Papert spent decades showing how using “the computer as material” creates a door into Mathland for students and teachers.
In the Constructing Mathland workshop, you’ll take a guided tour of Papert’s Mathland using the best pedagogy from over 40 years of the LOGO movement. Participants will explore Mathland like students, finding new pathways into the core concepts of a K-8 mathematics curriculum.
 Audience:
This workshop is perfect for homeroom teachers and curriculum coordinators looking for ways to build powerful and open-ended maths inquiry.
What to bring:
Participants will need a laptop on which they can install software. There will be a small supply of laptops available for teachers who only have a tablet or lack administrative access on their laptop.
