Across the US and in Oregon, there is growing teacher enthusiasm around BTC practices. In a BTC classroom, K-12 students work on math tasks in collaborative teams. Twenty years of research backs up these approaches: students engage more, learn more, and get excited about math.

You will:
  • Personally experience a BTC activity, in the role of a student
  • Learn about BTC Practices in "Toolkit 1"
  • Visit multiple elementary classrooms using BTC practices
