Mathematical creativity is a critical but often overlooked component of daily instruction practices in most mathematics classrooms. To support students developing into creative problem solvers, teachers need a systematic understanding of the role of problems and tasks that tap mathematical creativity differently. This session provides participants with a practical framework that can help them design creativity-friendly tasks.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will develop a set of skills allowing them to revise their current tasks/activities to tap mathematical creativity in the classroom.
Attendees will gain a rich repertoire of teaching resources to help them foster mathematical creativity in the classroom.
