Data is everywhere, and the AI revolution is only further proving the need for mathematics experiences that prepare students for an increasingly data-fueled world. What are states doing to promote data science & literacy education? Join us for a report-out from a new regional effort between New Hampshire and other northeastern states to ensure our students are prepared for the 21st centtury, along with updates from the national landscape.
Drawing from the foundational principles of "Every Student Deserves a Gifted Edcuation," this keynote will spark reflection on seamlessly integrating the 7 Essential Attributes into daily interactions with stduents.

Students develop a deep understanding of numbers through classroom experiences that allow them to explore, visualize, and reflect on number concepts. Gather ideas for simple investigations that prompt students to notice patterns, discover insights, and make sense of critical number concepts. Explore a variety of math tasks that use models and math talk to build conceptual understanding, fluency, and number sense.
