ATMNE NH 2024

K-2 is a critical time for math learners. This session supports teachers and leaders with key early numeracy content by viewing videos of student thinking in the domain of addition and subtraction and number words and numerals. Interview assessment strategies are examined to ensure that teachers identify knowledge each student has in order to build on it. Key instructional techniques like distancing the setting will be examined to ensure students are moving forward in their understanding in a robust manner.

Scores from the National Assessment of Educational Progress suggest that if current educational practices in math classrooms remain the same, the achievement gap between Caucasians and African descent learners will be eliminated by around 217 years. To close the academic achievement gap for all students, teachers must be equipped with methods to conduct equitable instruction that is culturally relevant.

In this session, attendees will learn methods for providing cultural relevance within specific academic settings. Participants will be empowered with strategies that will engage students in a relevant manner as well as acquire pedagogy, perspective, and practices to implement in the math classroom.

 AI tools are valuable resources to build and extend student thinking. In this session, you'll explore how AI can deepen students' mathematical understanding through the use of creative prompts. This hands-on, computer-based, minds-on experience will immerse you in practical classroom applications of AI. AI novices are welcome!
