An invitation to enhance your classroom with real world math models

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

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?"

A Real Approach to Algebra I: Engaging Strategies to Engage Students with Unfinished Learning

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

Amherst

How do I reach my students when they don’t have their basic math facts? This session will share strategies on how to elevate your Algebra I classroom into a space where all learners can make sense of the math, regardless of learning gaps. Attendees will experience examples of how real-world contexts, modeling, and meaningful problem solving allow students to access important algebraic concepts like rate, interpreting graphs, and writing linear functions.

While examples will pertain to Algebra I, strategies shared apply to all math classrooms.

Shifting from Learning Math to Doing Math - The Power of SMP 4

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

Hollis

What does it mean to model WITH math? How is it that different from modeling the math in word problems? And why does it matter? In this session, we help to clarify the often confusing language of Mathematical Practice #4, and explore how we can harness students’ curiosity and use mathematics to explore questions and problems from the world outside our classrooms.

Creating Dynamic Communities of Young Mathematicians, New Tools for Teachers

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

Windham

Explore how sequences of low-floor, high ceiling investigations and the use of problem strings crafted to ensure progressive development for all students K-5 can elevate your students problem solving skills and promote procedural fluency. We will explore research-based learning trajectories, low-floor high ceiling investigations, and dynamic assessments that pick up students’ strategies, not just answers, leading to the provided if/then teaching implications. We will enter real classrooms via New Perspectives Online professional development platform to see it all in action and to study aspects of how to build communities of young mathematicians working and thinking.
