Goals for today:
• Explore problem-based lessons.• Discuss the power of teaching conceptually using
these lessons and other strategies.• Explore instructional best practices.• Learn and play math games and discuss uses in
the math classroom.• Explore, plan, and develop activities using
DESMOS and OUR.• Leave with ideas, resources and practices you can
put to use tomorrow.

1. Start with a question.
2. Students need time to struggle.
3. You are not the answer key.
4. Say yes to your students’ ideas.
5. Play.

Consecutive Sums
13 = 6 + 7
14 = 2 + 3 + 4 + 5
25 = 12 + 13 25 = 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7
Is there a general rule for how many different ways a number can be written as a
sum of consecutive positive integers? If there is a general rule, what is it?
