Have you wanted to dig in deeper to Active Learning and how it works with junior and senior mathematics courses? This session is designed for upper level high school mathematics teachers who desire to increase student learning and engagement in their classroom through the use of active learning. Participants will have the opportunity to experience an active learning activity, engage in an activity and discussion about active learning, and develop an active learning activity in small groups. Participants will be provided with resources to assist with creating and transforming problems into active learning activities.
