Elevating Student Engagement and Discourse Through Math Language Routines in Your HQIR
How can we make math more accessible, engaging, and meaningful for all students? This two-day professional learning experience will explore the eight Mathematical Language Routines (MLRs) and how they can be seamlessly integrated into your high-quality instructional resources (HQIRs) to support learner variability and active engagement.
Through hands-on activities and collaborative planning, you’ll discover practical strategies to enhance discourse, deepen mathematical understanding, and ensure every student has the tools to think, reason, and communicate mathematically with confidence.
