TODOS 2016 Ensuring Equity and Excellence in Mathematics for ALL | Page 26

Saturday, June 25, 2016 8:00-9:30 Investigate Sessions April Knippen & Keli Dungan Dynamic Discourse 6-8 Grande Ballroom E Want to get students really talking about mathematics? This session will look at the differing attributes of student-led dialogue. We will encounter methods to scaffold these types of discussions with students as a means of supporting problem-solving. Let's elevate the discussions our students are having about mathematics!

She will talk about the experiences that kept her in education, key lessons that shifted her mindset, and will share her thoughts on how to stay focused and develop resiliency, while encouraging others to join in this work.

And just for fun, we may tackle the Pythagorean Theorem too. [email protected] Connecting Representations to Provide Access for ALL Sara Moore K-8 Grande Ballroom A Join us to explore representations of mathematical operations and strategies to help students connect representations when problem-solving. If one context for addition and subtraction is comparison, what does that look like across representations? How do we help students connect more comfortable representations to those less familiar? [email protected] Moving from Individual Deficits to Complex Instruction James Sheldon K-12 Grande Ballroom E Everyone has had a student that did not succeed in mathematics no matter what they tried. This interactive workshop offers an alternative to deficit-based approaches by inviting teachers to reorient curriculum around multiple-ability, groupworthy tasks. Teachers will experience complex instruction and reflect on how to use this approach so that all students can meaningfully participate in their classroom. [email protected] TODOS 2016 !26
