Polypad Workshop (2 hours, $500)

Mathigon’s Polypad is the most advanced collection of manipulatives available on the internet, and the ultimate “mathematical playground”. In this workshop, we will explore the dozens of available tools and features in-depth. Teachers will learn how to engage students in mathematical exploration, sense-making, and problem-solving, and how virtual manipulatives can support complex interactions that are often not possible with physical manipulatives. We will show examples from our library of free lesson plans and teaching ideas, and explain how teachers can create and share content with students to promote collaboration and discovery in their classroom.

This 2 hour workshop can be customized to focus on specific grade levels and can be designed for introductory Polypad users or advanced Polypad users. 4 hour and 6 hour options are also available, at the same rate of $250 per hour.
