Building a Thinking Classroom
Thursday October 24, 2024 2:30pm - 4:30pm PDT
Macdonald EF, Fairmont
Are you trying to implement a Thinking Classroom? If you need a refresher or just some encouragement, join me in this workshop as I push deeper into the practices that allow us to transform our classrooms from spaces where students mimic to spaces where students think. I will share strategies I’ve learned over the years that will help maintain the flow of a Thinking Classroom. Come and experience the joy of working in collaboration on rich tasks at vertical, non-permanent surfaces - a few of the necessary elements for building a Thinking Classroom.

Building a Solid Foundation : Ensuring Students’ Pathways Through Math Don’t Have Potholes
Thursday October 24, 2024 2:30pm - 4:30pm PDT
Empress A/B/C
Many teachers set instructional and assessment tasks where students do math, but do not really need to understand the math they are doing. We will contrast such tasks with others that both build understanding and that assess understanding. We will discuss strategies to make it easier for a teacher to identify and create tasks that build and demonstrate understanding throughout the grades.

Building Virtues, Not Just Skills

Mathematics education often focuses on skills---like memorizing procedures or factoring a quadratic. Skills are important, but a great math education should also develop mathematical virtues---such as curiosity, creativity, persistence in problem-solving, and a disposition to beauty. And in an age of AI, virtues will be even more important than skills.

Building Thinking Classrooms: Closing the Lesson
Friday October 25, 2024 8:30am - 9:45am PDT
Macdonald AB, Fairmont
Building Thinking Classroom is a practice most well know for having students working on thinking tasks, in random groups, and at vertical whiteboards. In this session, I will discuss why it is important to think beyond these practices to the closing of the lesson. In particular, I will look at the new research on the three practices that close a thinking classroom lesson—consolidation, meaningful notes, and check-your-understanding questions. These three practices are instrumental in helping students organize, structure, and formalize their learning.

Trigonometry with More Confidence and Intuition: Beginning with Coordinates on the Unit Circle
Friday October 25, 2024 10:05am - 11:20am PDT
Alpine E, Westin
Trigonometry instruction typically begins by defining sine, cosine, and tangent as ratios. In this session, we share an alternative approach in which sine and cosine are introduced as coordinates on the unit circle, with tangent as an associated slope. This method enhances understanding, rapidly leading students to an intuitive grasp of trigonometric concepts. 
We will share how students use this strategy to easily estimate the sine, cosine, or tangent of any angle and from there go on to derive various properties. We hope this leaves you with a new perspective on developing trigonometry with your students.

Fostering Creativity in Math: Celebrating Alternative Perspectives
Friday October 25, 2024 10:05am - 11:20am PDT
Macdonald A, Fairmont
Although there are certainly many people who like math because they see it as narrow and predictable, we lose many students who value the chance to be more creative. We will talk about how much richer both your and your students' experience in math class is when we celebrate diverse responses rather than only consistent responses from all students. We want to help students see that there are many opportunities in math to display creativity and that the whole class benefits from these situations. Much of the session will focus on how to set tasks to encourage students to take risks to show the rest of us their personal approaches.

Multiplication is repeated addition... but it also means so much more than that! In this workshop, you will explore several fundamental meanings of this operation (e.g., equal groups, arrays and areas, how a quantity is “stretched,” etc.) through rich tasks that address each of these meanings. Also, you will explore and discuss relationships between the “basic facts.” More importantly, you will learn how to help your students see that these relationships extend to other types of numbers that they come across in BC’s intermediate and middle years mathematics curriculum (e.g., two-digit whole numbers, fractions, decimals, integers, etc.).

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
Macdonald F, Fairmont
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.

A recent study found that nearly 50% of GenZ are obsessed with being rich, though most doubt they will ever achieve it. As household debt reaches an all-time high, it’s obvious that we need to rethink how we teach financial literacy to our kids.
Rather than our current focus on how to achieve MORE, we need to change the way we teach financial literacy with a focus on money mindfulness and introducing reflection and awareness towards what’s truly important to YOU. This is how we untangle the complex relationships we have with money including shame, scarcity, and jealousy.

Appreciating Math in the Social Media Era
Saturday October 26, 2024 10:05am - 11:20am PDT
Glacier, Westin
Social Media can be a powerful tool to discover and build an appreciation for your passions. As a math professor and YouTuber, I teach math in very different contexts. While physical classrooms allow for deep connections with students over time, online platforms offer unprecedented reach to inspire millions worldwide. In both, part of the goals of learning math is not just about developing a set of technical skills but building an appreciation and enjoyment for math. In this talk, I want to focus on the lessons I’ve learned from working in social media and how that has evolved my own pedagogical practices in the classroom.

How Cross Cultural Communication and Interhumanism Bridge the Achievement Gap
Saturday October 26, 2024 10:05am - 12:20pm PDT
Frontenac A, Fairmont
The U.S. NAEP Data for 2022 showed that there was a decline in math proficiency for students across the nation. Further, millions of students fail to complete school, causing them to drop out of college. Given these findings, educators and leaders must find ways to bridge the achievement gap.  Reports from the National Report Card have shown that there has been a cultural disconnect, with eighty percent of educators being Caucasian, needing support when serving 70 percent of learners of diverse ethnic descents.  There has been a need for engagement in the classroom and a need for teachers to have options for how to bridge the gap.
