Math Practice, Prevention, and Intervention by Trusted Math Authors
Tuesday October 22, 2024 8:30am - 9:15am CDT
Room 108
Reasoning and understanding are the pathway to helping students make sense of the math they're learning. So how do we build students numerical reasoning, sense making, and problem solving while also building key foundational concepts, such as numbers and operations, place value, algebraic thinking, fractions, and more?

Join us to explore strategies for how to provide high quality differentiated instruction while also keeping pace with the guidance and demands of the Iowa Standards for Mathematics? We’ll learn why thinking and reasoning, a process unique to each learner, is so critical to students’ mathematical understanding and a pathway to proficiency in elementary school on through more advanced math. What might classroom intervention look like that develops both understanding about the content and why the procedures make sense?

Come and experience the math resources from Heinemann and learn how they can be used to help students see patterns and make connections and develop mathematical practices. We will share lessons and games that offer multiple access points and strategies to best support students in achieving mathematical proficiency. We'll also share more about digital differentiation through Matific, an award-winning digital learning platform, available in more than 40 languages, that can also be mapped to high quality instruction and intervention by trusted math author Marilyn Burns.

Tuesday October 22, 2024 8:30am - 9:15am CDT

The MathMemeTeam uses popular culture and internet memes to explore and push against mathematical tropes that have been dispelled time and time again. "Asians are naturally good at math" or "women cannot do math" have proven to be inaccurate socially constructed themes, yet still exist across the internet in mathematical internet meme (MIM) form. In this session, we will explore five such tropes and discuss how you can help push back against these flawed perspectives.

Building a Thinking Classroom - Reflections
Tuesday October 22, 2024 10:20am - 11:05am CDT
Room 108
Dr. Peter Liljedahl was the 2002 ICTM conference keynote speaker. His topic was a newly published pedagogy, Building A Thinking Classroom. By the time of this conference, he will have 3 different publications on this. In the pedagogy, he gives 14 things to do in a classroom that are any teacher can do (so, not tied to personality etc.), which are shown to improve student learning.

I’ve implemented BTC strategies for two years now in Burlington schools and would like to share some of my own and my students’ reflections on the experience. This defies the traditional “I do, we do, you do,” approach. Students are often much more highly engaged. The biggest surprise was how in the beginning students were afraid of being placed into random groups, whereas in the end, this was their favorite part.

If you are interested in trying this yourself or if you have tried it and have your own comments about it, this is the session for you. As part of the session I will share with you my BTC problem sets for algebra 1 and geometry.

One must walk before they can run: Students reading mathematical texts
Tuesday October 22, 2024 11:15am - 12:00pm CDT
Room 115
As students advance in mathematical knowledge, they may experience increased difficulty understanding the discipline. This difficulty may not be caused by the increasingly complex mathematical ideals, but rather the ability of a student to access the knowledge through the media presented. We live in a world where annual tests are reality, and a student who struggles to decipher text and image will find themselves at a disadvantage every time. With some new focus on reading strategies naturally utilized by students, perhaps we can help their efforts.

Tuesday October 22, 2024 1:15pm - 2:15pm CDT
Large Conferene Room A (106)
In classrooms, math is almost always precise, but in the world, it is almost always ish. When we bring ish into our classrooms, it allows students to think freely and connect with the world. It also helps them think conceptually about numbers. In this keynote, you will get many classroom ideas for developing a more inclusive math environment.

Experience First, Formalize Later

Math Medic is a free curriculum designed to engage students in daily group activities for Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, AP Statistics, and AP Calculus.  The curriculum is written by high school teachers who are in the classroom daily and constantly working to implement and improve the content each and every day.

In this session you will experience an activity, see the built in structure for the lesson (activity guide and answer key), and see how the assessment platform can be used for your students.  This program will hopefully be on the STEM Scale-UP menu for this upcoming summer, and this can give you a taste of what the “EFFL” method of teaching looks like before you take the leap into the world of Math Medic!

Exploring Strategies for Supporting Students with Dyscalculia in Elementary Math: A Hands-On Workshop
Tuesday October 22, 2024 2:25pm - 3:10pm CDT
Room 113
Join us for an interactive session designed to empower elementary educators with practical strategies for supporting students with dyscalculia in the math classroom. Dyscalculia, a specific learning disability in mathematics, can present unique challenges for students, but with the right tools and approaches, educators can make a significant difference in their learning journey.

In this workshop, participants will gain a deeper understanding of dyscalculia and its impact on mathematical learning. We will explore evidence-based strategies and interventions tailored to the needs of students with dyscalculia and engage in hands-on activities and simulations to experience firsthand the challenges faced by students with dyscalculia.

Whether you're a classroom teacher, special education educator, or math specialist, this workshop will provide you with the knowledge and tools needed to support students with dyscalculia and help them succeed in math.

The Mathematical Power of Building to Specifications
Tuesday October 22, 2024 2:25pm - 3:10pm CDT
Large Conferene Room B (107)
Mathematics class often descends into a predictable pattern where mathematical objects are presented and then students are asked to identify and describe their properties. In this session, we will explore tasks that do the exact opposite: they give a set of identifying properties and ask
students to build mathematical objects to these specifications. Using examples from a variety of topics across the middle and secondary grades, we will unpack the power of asking students to be mathematical designers and not simply mathematical describers.

What are strategies for early field experience students (pre-student teaching) to engage in classrooms meaningfully? How can an early field experience be mutually beneficial for the mentor teachers (and their students) and the pre-service teacher? Mentor/cooperating teachers, professors, and pre-service teachers come ready to share your ideas as well as gather new ideas to create active engagement for optimal field-based learning for future mathematics teachers.
