Abstract
Research suggests that strengthening students’ executive function within math contexts leads to gains in mathematics achievement. So, how can you support students’ executive function skills during math instruction? In this Charter Schools Development Center conference session, EF+Math, a program of non-profit education organization the Advanced Education Research and Development Fund (AERDF), will provide participants an overview of executive function skills in mathematics, along with best practices for their development. Then, EF+Math will share a set of curricular approaches designed with and for teachers, which have shown improvements in students’ executive functioning and math learning in grades 3-8. Attendees will have the opportunity to join EF+Math as part of their ongoing research and development efforts to improve student learning in equitable and inclusive ways, including access to these tools and partnership with the EF+Math community.
