ONLINE Teaching Mathematics as a Conceptual & Connected Subject

Join Jo Boaler and the youcubed team ONLINE to learn how to teach mathematics as a conceptual and connected subject! This approach has been shown by research to engage students and increase achievement and is the best approach for teaching heterogeneous groups of students. The workshop is offered for three grade bands: 2-3, 4-5 and 6-8. Each grade-band version is offered as a series of three live, online sessions that take place 3:30-5:30 pm Pacific Time on different dates.

NEW! Math-ish Workshop at Stanford for K-16 Teachers

Jo Boaler’s latest book, Math-ish, is a joyful celebration of conceptual mathematics and all that it can do for you and your students. It shares a range of pedagogical strategies to make mathematics accessible and engaging, including ways to deal with the excessive content teachers are expected to cover. This workshop will feature never-before-shared ideas that will help you truly develop a growth mindset, see mathematics in a different way, and learn the value of “ish-ing” across the curriculum. The workshop is appropriate for teachers of grades K-16, and every attendee will receive a signed copy of Math-ish!

Teaching the Summer Camp Curriculum

This workshop focuses on our curriculum and teaching approach that improved students’ scores on standardized mathematics tests by an average of 50% (equivalent to 2.8 years of school). A study of teachers implementing the program across the US showed a significant increase in student mathematics achievement after camp and in the following school year. Participants will receive a copy of the camp curriculum, which is available for grades K-1, 2-3, 4-5, and 6-9.

Our next workshops will be in 2025, check here for updates!
