Participants will engage in a problem-based task to deepen
conceptual understanding of number sense and operations in their
grade band. In addition, they will learn ways to develop students' skills
around mathematical practices from the Common Core State Stan-
dards. Participants will develop a ready to implement problem based-
task and leave with techniques for developing high-level problem-based
tasks in their classroom in the future.
