Making math a collaborative experience not only boosts understanding and engagement but also adds a fun twist to learning, turning problem-solving into an exciting math team effort where students learn from each other's perspective.
Math Gatherings is a collaborative team-based learning model where educators and students unite to share expertise, engage in dialogue, and celebrate math education. It's not just about learning; it's about building a supportive math community where everyone's voice counts.
The white paper, Math Gatherings: A New Approach to Collaborative Math Instruction by acting superintendent Bill Barnes, offers three types of math gathering formats to ensure comprehensive teaching strategies for educator development and student achievement. This learning structure is supported by community group work, building sessions, and professional learning workshops.
“When I think about our team’s work with this professional development initiative, I am most proud that we are building a highly connected, yet interdependent, team of professionals that values continuous learning.”
—Bill Barnes, acting superintendent for the Howard County Public School System in Maryland
