Courses focused on issues of equity and diversity in mathematics education are becoming more widely
available, however, little is known about the “how” or “what” of these courses. Mathematics educators will
share their experiences teaching such courses and lead discussions analyzing the work and impact of these
courses.

Visual representations (VRs) as problem solving tools have great potential for supporting students who are
English learners (ELs). Explore how VRs in rational number contexts can support mathematical work and
communication. Di scuss how to weave language strategies into VR-focused lessons, informed by example
work produced by ELs using technological tools.

Doing Math at the DoSeum: Elementary
Teachers Developing Interdisciplinary Tasks
Crystal Kalinec-Craig

Grande
Ballroom A
Based on a professional development workshop at an interactive children’s museum, we will discuss the task,
“Secret Hideout,” and how elementary students can use informal and formal units of measurement as a
means of constructing an accurate map for a secret location. Implications for practice and research will be
discussed.
