Spending two days out of the classroom may be a welcome "vacation" for some teachers but I was really worried about it. I am glad that NCTM Minneapolis offered some really good workshops. I managed to sit in on 10 different sessions, 9 of which were worth while. I really enjoyed the Mathematical Lense session as I have always liked the column in the magazine and, as many of you may know, I also enjoy photography. The sessions that were centered around problem solving and reasoning were great and the information/discussion sessions about the new publication "reasoning and sense making in high school mathematics" was really enlightening.
I will be out of the classroom one more day on Monday for another workshop (this one local) so I won't see my students until Tuesday. I am excited to try some new ideas and get my students working on with while problem solving and reasoning.
