Critical thinking is one of the most important skills a student can develop... in math! Through MicroSociety, students engage with deep critical thinking all the time. However, it can be difficult to translate that amazing cognitive practice into a strong performance on a standardized test. Join award-winning teacher Wayne Banks to learn evidence-based learning solutions that ensure students are prepared for the meta-thinking needed to recognize how they are able to problem solve and how that skill gives them strong test-taking strategies. These practices have proven successful at delivering exceptional learning growth in math, while creating a space where children feel valued and connected.
