The Math Connection: Using the Depth & Complexity Framework to Differentiate Secondary Math Content

Secondary math educators face unique challenges when developing differentiated learning opportunities for students. The opinion that math is too objective or the stress of covering the overwhelming amount of yearly math content often precludes the use of an open-ended thinking Framework like Depth and Complexity. In this session, participants will connect overarching mathematical concepts with numerous Depth & Complexity Iconic Prompts to understand natural connections between the Framework and mathematics – leading to a better understanding of ways to differentiate instruction within math courses. A brief introduction to the Depth and Complexity Icons will be provided.
