All Students Can Be Capable Mathematicians

Thursday October 24, 2024 10:45am - 11:35am EDT

Portsmouth

Let’s use math routines and investigation to develop mathematical thinkers. Routines help to build mathematical agency and focus on student thinking rather than on repetition. Students are encouraged to support their thinking using multiple representations and analytical skills.We will examine a lesson developed from a Texas Instruments activity that will use math routines, investigation, analysis, and consolidation to put students in the driver’s seat and teachers as their facilitator in order to develop deep understanding.
The Texas Instruments TI 84CE will be used to support learning.

Culturally & Linguistically Responsive (CLR) Routines for the Math Classroom

Thursday October 24, 2024 12:30pm - 1:20pm EDT

Portsmouth

Want to get your students up and moving and talking about math? This session will cover multiple culturally and linguistically responsive (CLR) protocols to use in your classroom. It will be interactive and immerse participants in problems using the protocols as if they were students. The focus will be on Attention Signals, Movement Activities, and Response Protocols all designed to validate and affirm the students' cultural backgrounds and help them build and bridge capacity for being successful in school. Middle school examples will be utilized but the protocols are transferrable to any grade. All protocols are based on Hollie's book, Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Teaching and Learning.
