"Zip, Zap, Zop" is a classic simple warm-up game, featured in Mathematical Argumentation in Middle School, that helps students understand that it is OK to make mistakes, speak so that everyone can hear, and pay close attention to one another.
What if we were regularly told only what we don’t do well? How can we expect our students, many who face the same messages, to continue to persevere?

These are the very issues Kobett and Karp will address in this webinar and how by shifting your attention from students’ weaknesses to their strengths you can maximize understanding and turnaround instruction.
