A professional community dedicated to the effective teaching of K-12 mathematics

It took over 7 years to design this course. I don't usually endorse but this one is worth breaking my rules: Research-informed (based on world-class published research, including theirs, & trialling), mathematically and cognitively accurate.

I really found the Number Talk section to be a real highlight. Because that’s kind of a buzzword. Lots of people use Number Talks. And to really think critically about how we use Number Talks—and look through the lens of the RaPID model—was very, very valuable. I used Number Talks in my Grade Six Math class, and I started really thinking more critically about how I’m doing it, and I’ve been doing some in my Google Meets and being very intentional now since looking at this and changing it up a bit a result of this particular section. I appreciated that. I had not thought about it that way before.

Not easier work at all—in my older way of thinking, it was making sure that students had so many different ways to engage in the math at their level. With the RaPID model, you could teach the one lesson and still engage everyone at the level that’s needed for them.

I really liked that there were so many interactive activities. It forced me to look at things from a different perspective, not just as a teacher but in the mindset of what a student might do.

This course has helped me to look at my own teaching practices and made me more aware of how I am teaching these critical discernments - the emphasis of realizing it’s not just about the steps, but how the thinking behind the steps is crucial.

So far, this course has really made me aware of the language I am using while teaching and having conversations with my students.
