2024 Northwest Mathematics Conference

How do we help students who struggle when overwhelmed with complex science and math tasks? Numeracy requires students to develop the ability, confidence and willingness to make meaning of a variety of text forms and connect the tasks that they are working through to prior knowledge. In this session, we will share teaching tools and explore teacher moves that develop literacy in a mathematical context, teach self-monitoring skills and promote higher-level thinking to increase student success.

This seminar will explore the integration of Indigenous learning principles in Foundations of Math 12. It will introduce approaches that challenge traditional pedagogy, fostering deeper connections between students and their environment by emphasizing story, land, wholism, relationships, reciprocity, and collaboration in mathematical exploration. This framework enhances mathematical comprehension and fosters belonging within the educational landscape, contributing to the journey of reconciliation in our society.
