Teacher Content Knowledge: A Key Component to a Task-based Approach – Yvette Lehman
A teacher’s understanding of mathematical concepts is critical for effectively delivering a task-based lesson. The three-part math lesson, widely adopted across North America, is an effective and engaging way to support student thinking. However, a lesson that is not supported by strong teacher content knowledge can quickly become an activity rather than an opportunity for enduring understanding. During this session, we will leverage a task-based unit to explore the required content knowledge to make meaningful connections and support the development of critical big ideas in mathematics.
