Mathematics in Action: Turning Thinking Tasks into Practical Solutions

Friday October 25, 2024 9:40am - 10:30am EDT

This session brings to life some of the principles outlined in Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics by Peter Liljedahl. Participants will experience a variety of math thinking tasks guided by instructional moves to elicit student insights into various math concepts. Through exploration and discussion, participants discover how a well-implemented task can seamlessly align with both non-curricular and specific curriculum goals. By the end of the session, participants will leave with some practical ideas and strategies that they can readily implement in their classrooms.

Using Hip-Hop Based Education to Awaken Student Agency

Friday October 25, 2024 9:40am - 10:30am EDT

Chesterfield

Hip-Hop culture often is not associated with a high-quality educational experience for students. Yet, research has shown that using cultural experiences and perspectives of diverse students can teach them more effectively. Hip-Hop Based Education (HHBE) has proven to increase engagement, achievement, and classroom community. This interactive workshop focuses on ways to use HHBE as an alternative approach where honoring Hip-Hop culture and mastering mathematical concepts coexist in classrooms.
