2024 Northwest Mathematics Conference

Are you interested in building data literacy with your students? In this session, we will engage in a Data Talk and learn how to implement this collaborative activity as a warm-up for any mathematics class. These data discussions ignite students’ curiosity, prompt them to ask questions about the world around them, and help decolonize the classroom by decentering the teacher as the sole source of knowledge. Experiences and resources will also be shared about how a Data Science 12 course was locally developed and how these Data Talks form the basis of that curriculum.
