Yesterday's keynote speaker Jo Boaler talked about Teaching Mathematics for Understanding.
She talke about the 4 Teaching Principles that their work:
1) Student as Active and Capable Learners
2) 4 Mathematical Practices: Reasoning, Organizing, Representing, Generalizing
3) Collaborative Math Community
