MidSchoolMath National Conference 2016

Everyone learns at a different pace, whether it's riding a bike or tying a shoe. So why aren't we teaching math that way? With Judo Math you can! Like the martial art practice, students progress through a series of belts to achieve mastery...all at their own pace. Slower kids get the extra time they need, building confidence in their abilities, while faster kids don’t have to wait for the rest of the class anymore - they get the chance to soar and explore. The core principles of Judo are cooperation and mutual welfare, creating an enviroinment to support peer-to-peer learning. By explaining and collaborating, students gain a deeper understanding as they work with each other to become a black belt.

Join us for this session to learn how to create this positive culture in your classroom. You can earn your first belts through activities to experience how the students feel - and leave with a teacher's guide with step-by-step instructions for using Judo Math in your classroom.
