Elementary Math Labs with Allison Gimeli and Charlene DiDonato

In this interactive workshop, you will learn how to transform an upper elementary classroom into an inquisitive math lab where students are active participants in every step of the learning process.You will experience the math lab firsthand, engaging with tasks as students would, to better understand the impact on learning. Drawing on strategies from BuildingThinking Classrooms and insights from past AMTNJ conferences, we will share our journey of creating a 4th-grade math environment where students feel safe to explore, solve problems creatively, and challenge their own thinking. While secondary classrooms are embracing these transformations, fewer elementary classrooms have made the shift—this workshop aims to bridge that gap and inspire new approaches.

The cost of each One-Day Workshop is $149 for members. Non-members must pay $179 for their first workshop; the additional cost covers membership for a year. Each subsequent workshop would then be $149. Each workshop will be invoiced individually.
