SUMMARY:ICTM President's Welcome & Keynote: In Search of the Basics of Mathematics Teaching and Learning
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, some policy makers and stakeholders have taken up the habit of demanding that math education go back to the basics\, and I’d like to suggest that we wholeheartedly embrace this advice. Unfortunately\, this is as far as the advice goes\, and we are left to interrogate what these basics are. In this session\, I propose a “basic” for mathematics learning\, and together we will explore how this basic can live in a mathematics classroom\, and how we can initiate and accentuate these actions.

SUMMARY:Embrace AI for Human-Centered Thinking in Math
DESCRIPTION:Embrace a human centered instructional practice: thinking first\, then AI. We model AI as a "yes and" challenger students engage with after making thinking public. Let’s use AI for support/reflection/extension\, ensuring technology deepens thinking\, not outsources answers.
