Misconceptions do not just confuse students—they create barriers to their understanding and progress. As math teachers, we know how frustrating it can be to watch students struggle with the same concepts year after year. In Sealing the Cracks in Mathematical Reasoning: 5 Root Causes of Misconceptions, I will help you identify the root causes behind the most common misconceptions in math. You’ll see exactly where these misconceptions show up and, most importantly, how teacher actions often unintentionally perpetuate them. By the end of the session, you’ll be equipped with actionable strategies to address these issues early, saving you time and ensuring that every student has an increased chance of reaching grade level mastery. Join me and leave this session with clear, effective strategies to stop misconceptions in their tracks and create an environment where every student, regardless of ability, can develop the confidence and clarity to excel in mathematics.
