ATMNE NH 2024

The Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications (comap.org) is an education nonprofit with over 40 years experience supporting teachers with a focus on increasing student proficiency in mathematical modeling. In addition to introducing attendees to the extensive suite of free materials available to teachers and describing our modeling competitions for middle and high school students, attendees will experience mathematical modeling first-hand with some math activities based in the real-world. Let's answer the perennial student question, "When am I ever gonna use this?"

Have you ever heard of upside-down teaching? This teaching structure turns the "I do, we do, you do" teaching structure upside-down so that students lead the learning. This session provides participants with a tested, authentic process for implementing an upside-down teaching structure that allows all students to tap into their prior knowledge, collaborate, and show you what they know.

Looking for a way to ignite assessment review and student math talk? Through this presentation, educators will be exposed to scientifically backed and researched methods for improving student collaboration, communication, and justification. Participants will learn about Personal Reasoning Time, Structured Student Talk, and Tiered Checkpoints. Developed through the work of the Better Math Teaching Network, these methods will spark more communication and collaboration for students everywhere.

This 50-minute professional development session is tailored to educators seeking effective strategies for math intervention. It explicitly focuses on the foundational concepts of Expressions and Equations. The session employs an interactive approach integrating technology to provide teachers with dynamic visual tools, thought-provoking questions, and instructional guidance to nurture students' coherent understanding of critical mathematical ideas.

Engage in participant-led discussions, where you'll have the freedom to choose topics, share insights, and collaborate with fellow educators. Experience a laid-back, communal learning atmosphere where everyone's voice is valued and ideas are exchanged freely. Come ready to co-create and explore innovative approaches to math education together!
