Generative AI is already found in apps and websites. But what can it look like in the math space? How can we educate and model appropriate use? Yes, generative AI occasionally errs when asked to perform calculations, but it can have strengths as a conversational partner and can enrich the classroom experience, leading to deeper understanding. Experience hands-on activities that have been used in math class that combine AI and human intelligence in meaningful ways. Come with an open mind.

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.
How can we make students excited about geometry? This session will present state-of-the-art, research-based approaches to teaching and learning of geometry. We will explore innovative types of tasks and a variety of technological tools: Dynamic Geometry, Digital Proof, and AI-based tools for making geometry concepts and proofs appealing to all students. Please bring a laptop/tablet. Together we will re-envision geometry teaching to make it exciting and fulfilling for everyone.
This session will explore the innovative uses of technology in Algebra Two and Precalculus classes. With the integration of cutting-edge STEM tools, we can empower students to explore mathematical concepts in a dynamic and interactive way, making abstract algebra and precalculus principles more accessible and engaging. This session will delve into practical applications, demonstrate hands-on activities, and showcase how technology can enhance the teaching and learning experience, ultimately equipping students with the skills they need to excel in these critical math courses. Join me in exploring the potential of these strategies to enhance algebra and precalculus education.
This session is for people interested in exploring the consolidation and note-taking practices of Building Thinking Classrooms further. Participants should have some level of familiarity with thin-slice activities. The session will be divided into two parts. During part 1, participants will participate in a short thin-slice activity and then experience the consolidation and note-taking process. During part 2, facilitators will review the multiple approaches they use to consolidate lessons and how these practices can help students form study habits that promote self-efficacy.
