What happens after the data meeting ends? This session invites educators to tinker together with student data to move from results to responsive instruction. Participants use a 4 Square Data Dig Protocol to analyze student thinking, identify misconceptions, and guide instructional moves while engaging students in making sense of their own errors.
A collaborative, hands-on session where participants build the unit circle with manipulatives and use their discoveries to develop the parent graphs of the sine and cosine functions.
Come explore mathematical access through Entry, Structure, & Purpose. Experience how intentional instructional design shapes student engagement and problem solving. Analyze barriers and redesign tasks to increase access for diverse learners without reducing rigor. Leave with a framework, routines, and strategies for supporting student thinking for immediate classroom use.
If you have experienced students struggling to add (-2) + 5, or similar, then you have probably asked yourself: "Why is this so hard?" This session explores why building a strong foundation of conceptual understanding is necessary before expecting fluency. Participants will engage in hands-on activities that support sense making and analyze student work to discuss what students might be thinking.
