Developing Mental Habits with Maths Practices: Let them Envision Maths

Students make sense of Maths content when they learn to see relationships, ask questions and try different approaches. Maths practices (MPs) are the bedrock of these future skills. With York Envision Maths, students make the connections necessary to deepen their understanding.

Raising Futuristic Readers

From “learning to read” to “reading to learn”, students’ journeies in reading can be either boring or engaging. However, this journey becomes most exciting when learners engage their imagination, curiosity, critical thinking and communication, as well as other skills that help shape the futuristic readers inside them. In this workshop, participants will become more familiar with the must-have skills for the students of the future and will learn how these can be integrated into reading. They will also find out how these skills are effectively embedded within York Reading Adventures.
