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.

Equitable Assessment Strategies: Empowering Every Student's Success

Thursday October 24, 2024 1:40pm - 2:30pm EDT

Ballroom

Equity in education is about ensuring that all students have an equal opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances. In this session, we will explore how to break free from traditional assessment practices that perpetuate achievement gaps and limit students' potential. Too often, assessments are used to label students rather than to foster learning and growth. These labels can shape students' perceptions of their abilities and limit their achievements. Thissession will introduce you to practical assessment strategies that prioritize student agency, especially for those from marginalized groups. Learn how to use a rubric that not only evaluates proficiency but also offers constructive feedback, helping students identify areas for growth and chart a clear path towards improvement.

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.
