Introduction to GROWTH

Grasping the meaning of mathematical concepts by exploring definitions, cultural history, and connected concepts to start the process of seeing skills as characters in a story.

Concept Analysis Historical Context Definitions

Understanding Teachers as Storytellers

Learn to weave together real-life encounters, visuals, and metaphors to create an accurate and solid math storyline that students can carry with them.

Narrative Math Metaphors Visuals

GROWTH in Action

Three distinct experiences customized to the fellowship context, focusing on collective practice, co-teaching, and cohesive collaboration to drive student ownership.

Collective Practice Customized Context Co-Teaching

Strategy for Continuing Narrative Based Mathematics

Strategies to look ahead to the horizon of a skill, laying a firm foundation for future success and creating stronger storylines for every student.

Future Foundations Curriculum Strategy Student Success

"This process refined my pedagogical lens. I now look for definitions but also the cultural and historical contexts to see this skill as a character within a student's math story line."
