“Yes, And…” Improving Math Play With Improv Self-Paced Workshop

$20.00

Increase your confidence to lead open-ended math play with help from Improvisational Theater!

Are you uncomfortable leading a math activity without a script?
Do you wonder: What if they ask questions I can’t answer? What if it doesn’t go like I planned? How can I let the kids lead the activity?
Do you want to be more comfortable leading discussions and activities that are open-ended?
Are you hoping to embrace the Natural Math principle of saying “yes, and….” but you don’t really “get it”?
What does “Yes, And” look like?

Description

We get it! Yes, And is probably one of the most difficult principles of Natural Math to feel confident about. Most of us likely didn’t learn our math this way. We may not even teach other subjects this way. No matter your situation or past math experience, you CAN learn the skill of effectively leading children while letting them make their own math. It may seem unusual, but acting improvisation (improv) can help us become more comfortable with this!

Sarah Trebat-Leder has taken improv classes, and she’s a 4th year Ph.D. student in Mathematics! She’s uniquely experienced in both areas! In this workshop, you’ll get to see just how improv can help you begin to grow your confidence in leading those open-ended, “what’s going to happen!?” types of activities!

What will you learn?

Three acting improv games that can help you be more comfortable with math discussions.
How “yes, and” is more fun and allows a narrative to develop
How to make everyone feel safe in a math discussion
How each member of the group can help to create the math experience
How to really listen in a discussion
How to teach your children to listen in a discussion
The role of emotion in your math discussions and play
How to accept all emotions in your math experiences.
