Making and Breaking Conjectures: Supercharging your Math Classroom.
Description
Explore how the act of making conjectures—and disproving them with counterexamples—can provide a pathway to deeper mathematical understanding and persistence. Building a classroom culture of conjecture, productive skepticism, and learning from mistakes is easier than you thought with this playful routine! See how conjectures and counterexamples lead us from simple games to deep mathematical thinking, genuine engagement, and student ownership of their ideas.
