Join us as we explore the nuts and bolts of transitioning from your physical classroom to a virtual learning space and discuss ways to set clear expectations and guidelines for your students.

We will also consider some best practices for both synchronous and asynchronous sessions, while exploring different tools and resources. This sessions is appropriate for both new and experienced virtual educators.

Engaging students in worthwhile mathematical tasks is essential for developing conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and productive habits of mind. Yet, these tasks are the most difficult to implement effectively. Based on the work of the QUASAR project, this session will teach participants about the Levels of Cognitive Demand and how to distinguish between the characteristics and features of high- and low-level tasks. Participants will be given the opportunity to experience the math of select tasks, engage in a task sort and analysis activity, as well as contribute to meaningful conversations...all designed to elicit a better understanding of high-level tasks and their vital role in the math classroom.
