The Schedule

Keynote: Equity in the Mathematics Classroom

Afreeka Miller

Culturally responsive teaching counters inequitable practices thus permitting all students the ability to access content. Taking into account how people acquire new knowledge, these teaching practices aid in students utilizing innate ability to ultimately learn. We consistently hear of the ever looming achievement gap but many are still wondering how to instruct students from different ethnic groups. Effective teaching practices work for all populations, so what are we missing? During this session, participants will: define culturally responsive teaching, understand bias as a hindrance to culturally responsive teaching, and understand the impact of belief and expectation on culturally responsive teaching.

Keynote: Facilitating Rich Math Tasks Remotely

Graham Fletcher

Rich math tasks are designed to promote student discourse and sensemaking in the classroom. In this time of remote learning, how can we adapt our facilitation of rich tasks so students have access to interesting mathematics from home? In this session, we will talk about remote ways to facilitate problem-based lessons in a virtual space. Whether you’re able to have real-time virtual conversations or are limited to asynchronous options, we will share ways you can connect with your students, create spaces for them to share their ideas, and engage students in productive math thinking from home
