4.7.9 Igniting Mathematical Minds: Rigorous Questioning Using the Icons of Depth and Complexity
In this session, participants will learn instructional strategies to develop rigorous math questions and explore the ways that Sandra Kaplan’s Icons of Depth and Complexity can increase rigor. When used intentionally in the classroom, these strategies encourage student discourse, provide challenge, extend thinking, and provide a platform for students to take academic risk while having their unique needs met. Resources shared during this session can be immediately utilized as tools for professional development, collaborative planning, and classroom instruction.
