The Power of a Great Math Task
“Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think” ~ Einstein. Research tells us that students need to engage in open-ended math tasks that include mathematical discourse so they can develop reasoning and sense-making skills. Quality math tasks allow students to construct their own learning through a guided inquiry approach. In this session, we will discuss the indicators of a quality math task and explore practical strategies to promote math talk in our classrooms. Join us, share your ideas, and walk away with several practical instructional strategies to use in your classroom!

Want to Develop Fluency with Functions? Algebrafy Patterns!
Let’s explore how existing arithmetic activities and word problems provide opportunities for pattern building, conjecturing, generalizing, and justifying mathematical facts and relationships. Different pedagogical techniques will be modeled that demonstrate how pattern generalization is an activity suitable for developing algebraic thinking and how recursive rules for sequences provide the foundation for conceptual understanding of functions. Emphasis will be placed on connecting concrete, pictorial, and abstract representations to help students develop conceptual understanding, refine procedural fluency, and analyze change in various contexts. Classroom-ready hands-on lessons that empower students to algebrafy will be provided.

Bisquick® can kill you and other fun, but WRONG, facts!
People often believe “facts” they hear and read, without ever investigating whether these facts are true. Usually a quick google search or snopes.com can set the record straight. Why are we so gullible? We will examine many newspaper articles, Facebook entries, and common myths that go viral to see how data is manipulated and misrepresented.

Area Codes: How Math, Geography, and History Click Together
What was optimized when New York was assigned the area code 212? We share a classroom activity were students reason their way to the patterns underlying the initial set of North American area codes. We observe the format of the original set of allowable area codes and determine the number of possible area codes in that format. We also seek connections between the numbers and the geography of North America that led to the assignment plan. The history of phone system technology and our phone number formats plays a role in an interesting optimization problem hidden underneath a seemingly random assignment of numbers to places.

When does MCI + UDL = ACCESS?
Let's face it; there are growing numbers of multilanguage (ML) classrooms being taught secondary mathematics. My ML Algebra 1 classrooms were growing almost daily. Fortunately, I am a dually certified Math/ESOL teacher who has a plethora of resources that I can use to adjust our instructional math resources so that my students who are operating and EL levels 1-2 can access the mathematics. However, it is becoming apparent that all math teachers need to have some of these strategies at their fingertips.
Using the principals in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in multilingual classroom instructional strategies (MCIS) is an essential to providing access to (not just basic math but) grade level mathematics.
CAUTION: This is not a time to “sit and get”; this is a solution-oriented, work session. Bring your device. Only serious participants should attend.

A Middle School “Thinking” Math Classroom in Action (applications of the Thinking Classroom)
Building a Thinking Classroom, by Peter Liljedahl, has inspired educators across the country to change their practice. I am one of them. I have implemented random groups, vertical surfaces, collaboration, math tasks, and more in my 6th grade classroom. Capturing students’ attention from the FIRST moment they walk in the door with problem-solving tasks and dry erase markers has completely changed the dynamic of my classroom and the level of excitement from my students. Engaging in critical thinking and problem solving can transform the way students feel about mathematics. Join this hands-on session to learn strategies you can implement immediately to help students take responsibility for their own learning and discover the joy of math!

Revamping Unaligned Lessons for Enhanced Learning Outcomes
With new standards, resources are no longer aligned and need revamping. Imagine this, your students are talking to each other explaining how they started to think of a problem. The students are questioning each other as they collaborate to figure out what to do next in order to work through the problem. As the classroom teacher, you are hearing and seeing students use manipulatives and drawing representations to explain their thinking. Engage with other teachers to revamp unaligned lessons to create lessons that promote problem solving and reasoning.

Students Forget Math; How to Stop Them
You have planned the lesson properly, put the facts in the best sequence, related it to real-world applications, answered the questions of the engaged students. Then, three weeks later, they don’t remember it. Your students have experienced the natural process of forgetting. Psychologists have learned how to stop student forgetting...unfortunately their techniques have not migrated into education. Two experienced teachers will describe how the principles were discovered, explain how to use them, and demonstrate their specific methods.

This session will explore the power of data talks to build critical thinking skills, capitalize on student interest, and support student collaboration and communication. Learn how data talks can level up learning environments in any K-12 classroom. We will explore various examples of student data talks and inspire you to integrate them into your own classroom.

Partnering with Families to Make High-Quality Mathematics Accessible to All Students
Numerous studies have shown a strong correlation between a student’s self-efficacy and mindset toward learning mathematics, mathematics achievement, and the influence of adults they interact with who may pass down negativity toward math. While our teaching practices have adapted, and an abundance of time has been spent on learning about and implementing new standards, more support is needed to help families understand these shifts.
This session will provide practical strategies for engaging families in learning and talking about mathematics, positively participating in their child’s learning, and supporting academic success, with the overarching goal being an increase students’ self-confidence and achievement in mathematics.

“Show Your Thinking”: Leveraging the 6 Traits of Writing to Build Mathematical Communication
This session is designed to explore how explicit and targeted writing instruction can foster students' ability to "show their thinking" during math lessons.

While implementing higher-order thinking tasks in my third grade math lessons, I found that, while students could mark up a page with drawings and equations, they struggled to use written words to explain how they arrived at their answer. Written answers were either very short, e.g. "I used number line" or "did mental math" or nonexistent. Given the importance of clear communication in the "connect" stage of the five practices, I decided to design a two week long writing unit that would explicitly teach procedural writing skills in relation to math problem solving. In this session, I will share my unit outline and discuss its alignment to the 6 Traits of Writing curriculum . We will also consider the link between sequential writing and algorithmic thinking and look at students writing samples together.
