From Mist-takes to First-Takes: The Role of Reframing Errors

Peter Drucker famously quipped, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast every time”. What can that perspective teach us about our work to grow reflective, innovative problem-solvers? This session will highlight the importance of encouraging mistake-making and reflection (for students and teachers!) in developing a culture of joyful growth and innovation. We will present strategies to move students and teachers from a posture of hiding, mis-takes‚ to one of reflectively embracing first-takes.

Increasing Access by Opening Up Lessons

Have you ever tried a CPM lesson by the book and found it a little choppy with a certain class? You want the students to discover in their teams, but this class needs more guidance than others in the past. The remedy: Opening up the lesson. Inspired by Jo Boaler and NCTM’s Principles to Actions and Taking Action, we will facilitate an open task and you will be the student. Then we will roll reverse, guiding you to become an open task expert so you can increase access and engagement.

Making G.A.I.N.s CPM Global Perspectives

Our current generation of students is said to be the most connected, yet disconnected youth in history. Making G.A.I.N.s stands for “Global Awareness by Investigating Numbers,” and was started during my journey as a US State Department Global Educator last year. It is imperative to build a global mindset into the classroom and encourage awareness with respect to current world issues and how math helps us identify them, understand them, and create potential solutions to them. I will share lessons our team has created and give you resources to start thinking about creating your own global connection.

Making Student Thinking Visible with Number Talks

This session will help your students enhance their number sense through math talks. With conceptual understanding being our ultimate goal in math classrooms, performing math talks consistently can help all students build confidence in recognizing patterns and relationships between numbers. Students gain access to seeing multiple representations, learn to communicate their solutions to others and make sense of some one else's justification.

Number Talks: Easy Engagement that Builds Skills

Number talks are a great way to engage students from day one in meaningful mathematics discussions, especially if they’re not used to talking about mathematics. Help students develop a growth mindset, respect others’ opinions and ideas, develop computational fluency, and enjoy class! Learn how to get the practice started and gain ideas for how to make it meaningful for your classroom. Most examples will be for Algebra 1, but there will be ideas and examples for all secondary courses.

Strategies to Improve Reading; So We Can Get to the Math!

Reading abilities are a common obstacle among teachers in the math classroom, especially with a student-centered, problem-based curriculum. We find that students who are reading below grade level often get lost in the context of a problem, resulting in barriers using problem-solving skills. In this session, I will present reading strategies for the math classroom with the goal to help students be successful thinkers and problem solvers.

Teacher Talk: How the Questions We Ask and the Way We Ask Them Make a Difference in Student Learning

The Standards for Mathematical Practice ask students to develop the ability to be adaptive problem solvers. How can we build our repertoire and expertise around questioning and productive discourse to positively impact student learning? In this session, we will examine resources to support questioning, lifting specific strategies and tools for use with our students. We will practice with each other as models to gain confidence and ease with questioning.
