Keynote: Enhancing Learning for All Students through Math Discourse: Creating an Inclusive Classroom for Meaningful Math Conversations
Join Kelly Diamond, Director of Curriculum & Content at Heinemann, as she shares practical and purposeful strategies to create a math classroom where all students can participate and contribute to the collective math conversations in your classrooms.
With over 20 years of experience in elementary classrooms, Kelly Diamond, M.Ed. is a dedicated educator who has made a significant impact as a teacher, school principal, and most recently, Director of Curriculum and Content at Heinemann. Her passion for teaching is matched by her love of mathematics instruction, math discourse, and math intervention.
As a school principal, Kelly led educational teams with a focus on equity, collaboration, and academic excellence. Her leadership cultivated thriving school cultures that empowered both students and teachers to achieve their fullest potential.
In her current role as Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Kelly continues to emphasize the power of math discourse to develop critical thinking and communication skills. She believes in creating inclusive classroom environments where every student is encouraged to participate in meaningful mathematical conversations. Empowering and supporting teachers to implement purposeful math intervention will successfully bridge gaps, support struggling learners, and foster lasting success.
Session #1: Problem Strings: Build Math Reasoning Skills Through High Dose Patterning
Session #1: Problem Strings: Build Math Reasoning Skills Through High Dose Patterning
Audience: K-2
Presenter: Melanie Bagshaw
Session Title: Problem Strings: Build Math Reasoning Skills Through High Dose Patterning
Session Description: Problem strings are carefully chosen sequences of problems that develop math reasoning skills and computational strategies through high dose patterning. With this routine, students construct a tool kit with a variety of computational strategies, learn and practice how to make connections to prior knowledge, and enhance their mathematical reasoning skills. In this session we will see what this routine might look like in the classroom, experience several problem strings and highlight some resources to help participants start using problem strings in their own classroom.
Session #2: The Real World: Data Cycle & CODAP
Session #2: The Real World: Data Cycle & CODAP
Audience: 3-8
Presenter: Emma Weber & Andrea Sobel
Session Title: The Real World: Data Cycle & CODAP
Session Description: Have you looked at the new math standards and thought to yourself, “what is the data cycle?” Come to our session to learn about the data cycle and how to integrate it in grades 4 - 8. Learn how to use the free tool CODAP in a way that makes it authentic and accessible to your students!
Session #3: Rough Draft Math
Session #3: Rough Draft Math
Audience: 9-12
Presenter: Erica Willing
Session Title: Rough Draft Math
Session Description: Talking and writing about unfinished ideas is vital to learning mathematics, but most students only speak up when they think they have the correct answer. Rough Draft Math, written by Amanda Jansen, explores the power of infusing the spirit of revision into math class, so students feel comfortable thinking aloud as they problem solve rather than talking only to give correct answers. We will take a quick dive into the ideas in the book around creating a community of learners as well as the techniques shared to shift to student-centered teaching approaches.
