Are you looking for ways to help your learners become more independent with problem solving? Are you looking for ways to engage learners in noticing structure and patterns within problem types and within mathematical concepts? Thin slicing is a way to support students success with increasingly complex puzzles and problems. We will use thin slicing to uncover the structure inherent in solving systems of linear equations. Come and explore ONE of multiple tools to support effective problem solving and puzzling. We will explore this through the first toolkit found in Building Thinking Classrooms. This training is specific to High School classrooms and students.
**NOTE: Participants will be expected to take a task back to their classrooms, collect and analyze student work, and share their reflections with the CRR.
Hybrid: In-person at UArizona Tucson Campus. Remote via Zoom.
