Mathematical Language Routines: The Landscape of Learning Mathematics for All

Friday October 25, 2024 12:00pm - 1:15pm PDT

Frontenac B, Fairmont

The session will address one essential element in meaningful mathematics- mathematical language routines that help not just the English language learners, but also students who need a little more as a scaffold to understand and connect. Attendees will explore these routines and some resources that can be used in their classroom right away. An interactive session where attendees can share their experiences and conversations that will enrich their experience. Some templates (digital) will be shared for attendees to use immediately.

Shifting Teacher and Administrator Mindset and Practice to Shatter the Illusion of Learning and Grow Mathematicians

Friday October 25, 2024 1:35pm - 2:50pm PDT

Alpine E, Westin

When what we do in the classroom doesn’t feel like it is working, we often revert back to how we were taught: giving hints, showing how to do the work/solve the problem, etc. While this comes from the best of intentions and might feel like learning is happening what often occurs is a cycle of less and less empowerment, identity and agency for our students (and teachers). We propose shifts that support students thinking and sharing ideas and teachers shifting to a mediator of student thinking.
