One size fits none. Stock your back pocket with high-leverage, equity-driven math routines that deepen understanding and create classrooms where every student feels valued, capable, and ready to engage.
From Sierpiński's Triangles, Escher's Transformations and Mandela projects, students actually go old school and use paper, pencil, compass, rulers, CRAYONS, markers, and even scissors. While they will complain - they are in MS after all- you will be impressed with their buy in and results!
Striving beyond "right" or "wrong", this session equips educators with tools to foster student metacognition and reflection. With a focus on brain science, learn to shift focus from final products to thinking processes to deepen understanding, empower students, and build independent thinkers.
This session will describe a one semester elective course, Global Mathematics, that helps students understand and critique the world while also experiencing wonder, joy, and beauty. This course engages students at every ability level through the study of the history of math from around the world.
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.
