This K-6 instructional strategy focuses on student knowledge and encourages teachers to pose story problems that can be solved by any means chosen by the child. Problem-posing and problem-solving become the focus of the mathematics class, rather than the traditional emphasis on memorization of facts and algorithms. The research-based approach was developed by faculty at the Wisconsin Center for Education Research, University of Wisconsin- Madison.

Each participant will be required to purchase Children's Mathematics . This workshop consists of three professional days, followed by two advanced days later in the year.
CGI is named as a "Promising Practice"
Problem types are an important component of CGI

"Children who come to expect help with every problem lose faith in their intuition and never develop the confidence needed to tackle problems alone".
