Tinkering Together: Bridging Gaps Through Coherence and Belonging
Thursday November 5, 2026 12:20pm - 1:20pm EST
Winston 1A
Mathematics becomes meaningful when it is experienced as a connected system, not isolated standards. In this session, participants will tinker together with mapping conceptual connections across grades 6–8 to address unfinished learning. Through interactive examples, teachers will identify power concepts, strengthen coherence, and leave with tools to build understanding, confidence, and belonging.

Computational Thinking in Math: Using AI Models and Minds
Friday November 6, 2026 11:00am - 12:00pm EST
Winston 1A
In this session we will explore the intersection of mathematics, computational thinking and AI. Using their own devices, participants will complete a math task supported by AI and the critical thinking lens of computational thinking. They will reflect on their experience, discuss practical approaches for implementing these ideas, and consider implications for their own teaching practice.

Division with Fractions: More than just “Keep, Change, Flip”
Friday November 6, 2026 12:10pm - 1:10pm EST
Winston 1A
In this session, participants will engage in problems that allow them to explore division of fractions using a variety of manipulatives and models. Participants will walk away with a stronger understanding of why the process “keep, change, flip” works when dividing with fractions in connection with the conceptual understanding of division.

Designing Elementary Math Lessons that Foster Inquiry, Awe, and Ownership
Friday November 6, 2026 1:20pm - 2:20pm EST
Winston 1A
Participants will analyze contrasting elementary math lessons and discuss how a lesson-design framework inspired by literary theory can help teachers sequence tasks so mathematical ideas unfold through inquiry, productive discourse, and moments of surprise. Participants will leave with practical ways to rethink lesson design to support curiosity, awe, student ownership, and sense-making.
