Every Student Thinking: Creating Collaborative Math Classrooms

Friday November 6, 2026 9:50am - 10:50am EST

Participants will engage in random groups to solve collaborative thinking tasks at vertical workspace, and experience instructional strategies that increase engagement, discourse, and productive struggle in math classrooms. Tasks will model structures that shift students from passive learners to active thinkers, followed by discussion of the benefits and practical implementation strategies.

Not Just Numbers: Literacy Strategies That Unlock Mathematical Thinking

Friday November 6, 2026 11:00am - 12:00pm EST

Piedmont 2

Think you're just a "math teacher?" Think again! Many students struggle in math not because of gaps in computation, but due to challenges with language comprehension, vocabulary, and making connections between concepts. This session bridges literacy and math by highlighting how evidence-based literacy practices can strengthen mathematical understanding, discourse, and problem-solving.

AI is reshaping mathematics education at every level, and none of us has it figured out yet. This session brings K–12 and college educators together as equal learners, sharing what we're seeing in our classrooms and wrestling with questions we can't yet answer. The facilitator is a college educator who picks up where K–12 leaves off, navigating the same rapidly changing landscape.
