Connected and Creative Math Classrooms in a Time of Crisis

When teachers and learners are physically distanced, we need new technologies and pedagogies to help us maintain our connection and mathematical creativity. We’ll look at some of the ways math software separates us and several ways it can connect us, and help us flourish even now.

8 Page Books – Emergent Readers Meet Math and Science Next Gen Standards

Integrate ELA with Mathematics and Science concepts. 8 Page Books is a resource for teachers who teach young readers. 8 Page Books also provides a format for older students to organize mathematical and science concepts in narrative, opinion, or information genres. In addition to walking away with a baker’s dozen of reproducible booklets related to math and science standards, we will collectively write original stories with the idea that our students can write them too. Scott will also share a few titles of trade books that artfully build numeracy skills in our young mathematicians.

Technology Integration in Elementary Math: PearDeck, EdPuzzle, and more!

Participants will discover resources that strengthen students’ abilities to think mathematically, while providing them with data to drive their instruction. This session will provide best practices for managing a variety of technology platforms while keeping engagement, participation, and learning at a high level. An introduction to presented platforms will be followed by an opportunity to explore with guided support and discover ways to meaningfully integrate technology. Step away from traditional direct instruction while strengthening student engagement through technology integration!

Creating a social, collaborative math classroom for all learners

Doing math should feel social and collaborative for students. Social math classrooms support students in developing their voice and confidence, along with their mathematical identity, ultimately allowing all students to feel a connection to math. In this session we’ll discuss strategies to build a community where everyone is a part of the conversation. Additionally, we’ll take a look at tools teachers can use—whether in-person or distance learning—to support the way students think and talk about math ensuring it relates to their lives and makes it an open-ended adventure.

From Theory to Practice: Making Equity a Reality in Your Math Classroom

Negative stereotypes about certain cultures often limit students' views of themselves and their abilities to be successful in mathematics. In this workshop, participants will identify principles and strategies from the ICUCARE equity framework to meaningfully engage students from groups that have been marginalized by traditional mathematics instruction.

Supporting Students’ Meaningful Understanding of Functions

Learning functions is amongst the complex and difficult topics to learn; it involves representations, complex topics, and subtopics of mathematics. We explored ways to support students’ meaningful understanding of functions. A design-based research methodology teaching experiment was conducted for 8 sessions with 8 secondary school students. The findings shed light on teachers’ moves, prompts, and promoting actions; we will discuss practical moves which shifted students’ sophisticated understanding of functions by eliciting students’ thinking and orienting students’ thinking to one another.

Building Conceptual Understanding of Place Value

Students with a solid foundational understanding of place value succeed in mathematics. Learn to teach place value and assess students’ understanding using engaging hands-on activities with concrete models like the 10 frame, 100 Ring Rod, and Land of 3. These activities use addition and subtraction to deepen their understanding of place value. Help students gain PreK-2 numeracy skills and a stronger understanding of number systems while they build fluency and practice powerful procedural skills.

Rethinking Equity Practices

The meeting point between instruction, assessment and differentiated instruction viewed through the lens of equity. Participants in this session will engage in doing mathematics together and discuss the intentional equity-based practices involved.

Gerver, Alternative Course Paths for Struggling Students - Robert Gerver.pdf

Alternative Math Course Paths to Graduation for Struggling Students

For students that need 3-4 years of math to graduate, Algebra 2 and precalculus are often daunting options. Two courses, Advanced Algebra with Financial Applications, and Hands-On Statistics, will be presented in this session. Both courses have only an Algebra 1 prerequisite. The finance course uses selected topics from Algebra 2, prob/stat and more to cover banking, credit, insurance, income tax, etc. Hands-On Statistics covers descriptive and inferential statistics. The two-course sequence sets up struggling students for success.

Teaching Math Online: When Your First Job is at an Online High School

I have had eight years of experience working with students online before the COVID-19 pandemic. I transitioned to blended instruction at Seton in the middle of my teaching years. Learn about how my online math teaching experience affected the way I taught in the blended instruction setting and in the COVID-19 remote online setting.
