Experience open ended math problems and visual patterns using Math in the round.  Learn how to randomly group students, provide probing questions and promote student led class conversations on vertical non-permanent surfaces to build thinking math classrooms.

Cyber sandwich EduProtocol features paired collaboration on math problems where students can compare and contrast their approach to problem solving with a partner and then independently summarize their findings. Experience Cyber Sandwich as a student and learn how to create for your classroom. 

Sketch and tell math problems by creating a visual image and explaining it to a partner. Experience sketch and tell as a student and learn how to jigsaw ideas to create whole class conversations to discover patterns.

Sous chef is the math version of the Iron chef EduProtocol where students work in groups of four to investigate and illustrate a math topic using a four slide jigsaw model.  Experience Sous Chef as a student and learn how to design using Desmos and Geogebra secret sauce. 

EduProtocols, based on the book series, are student centered lesson frames that puts student thinking front and center with multiple attempts for formative assessment to show growth over time.  Rack and Stack combines several EduProtocols to make unit planning easy using EduProtocol templates.  Eduprotocols featured in this session are Fast and Curious: use computer aided gaming software to immediately get formative data and student feedback; MathReps: for daily directed practice:  Sous Chef: groups of 4 jigsaw concepts and provide whole class sharing opportunities; Cyber Sandwich: think pair share activity and Learning in the Round: opportunity for student led conversations on white boards. EduProtocols elicit student thinking and build on each other’s ideas and findings.

Put inquiry and collaboration at the center of your lesson by “pairing” 3 act math lessons with Pear Deck.  Participants learn how to pose notice and wonder questions via 3 act Math lessons. Students use their devices to seek information, solve 3 act math lessons and share their thoughts via Pear Deck responses. Teacher sees and shares student responses with the class to promote whole class collaboration.  Pear deck integrates seamlessly with Google Drive, Google Slides and Google Classroom and participants leave with multiple resources to enact 3 act lessons. Connections to Math Practices and Standards are addressed.
