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! [email protected], [email protected]
Leadership: Lessons Learned and Next Steps
Heather LindforsNavarro
General
Grande
Ballroom F
Once considering leaving education, Heather is now a teacher leader. 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.

Making Sense of Area and Volume in Middle
School
Shelley Kriegler
6-8,
General
La Valencia
A
Come experience hands-on activities that give meaning to the area and volume formulas students learn in
6th-8th grade. And just for fun, we may tackle the Pythagorean Theorem too.

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?

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.
