This workshop introduces Global Math Stories (GMS), a free resource offering real-world mathematical scenarios from diverse cultures. It begins with a demonstration lesson using GMS, guiding participants in exploring global connections in mathematics education. Participants then brainstorm classroom applications of a selected GMS, followed by a session for creating and sharing their own GMS-based lessons. The workshop emphasizes cultural exploration and practical mathematics, enriching traditional teaching with global narratives and collaborative learning experiences.
Let’s use math routines and investigation to develop mathematical thinkers. Routines help to build mathematical agency and focus on student thinking rather than on repetition. Students are encouraged to support their thinking using multiple representations and analytical skills.We will examine a lesson developed from a Texas Instruments activity that will use math routines, investigation, analysis, and consolidation to put students in the driver’s seat and teachers as their facilitator in order to develop deep understanding. The Texas Instruments TI 84CE will be used to support learning.
I have been a mathematics educator for over 30 years. I believe all students can learn and be successful when they are in a student centered environment that celebrates students achievements and mistakes. Students need to feel safe to take risks, collaborate with others, and to make... Read More →

Want to get your students up and moving and talking about math? This session will cover multiple culturally and linguistically responsive (CLR) protocols to use in your classroom. It will be interactive and immerse participants in problems using the protocols as if they were students. The focus will be on Attention Signals, Movement Activities, and Response Protocols all designed to validate and affirm the students' cultural backgrounds and help them build and bridge capacity for being successful in school. Middle school examples will be utilized but the protocols are transferrable to any grade. All protocols are based on Hollie's book, Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Teaching and Learning.
Multilingual learners are a classroom asset! Learners thrive when they engage in meaningful, relevant, and accessible mathematics in a safe environment. This session will provide an opportunity to examine beliefs about multilingual learners and engage in a collaborative math task as a multilingual learner in an environment that is equitable and asset-based. Participants will discuss action items within their sphere of influence that promote the success of multilingual learners.
