Three Gifts That Technology Can Give To (Or Take Away From) Your Math Class
Nov. 3 | 4 p.m. ET
If your goal is an engaging and effective math classroom, the majority of math education technology is actively working against you. We will name the three gifts technology has given us in our personal lives-connection, creativity, and feedback. We'll learn the ways technology often subtracts those gifts from our math classes, and how we can add them back.
Math IS a Language: Creating Productive Math Discourse Using Technology
Nov. 17 | 2 p.m ET
Kids communicate with their digital devices constantly. We can help them use those same devices to communicate mathematically as well. We'll learn how math language routines and free digital technology can take your students from speaking and thinking to fluency and understanding.
Building a Smaller Toolbox: Student Ownership of Algebraic Reasoning with Story Tables
Dec. 1 | 2 p.m ET
For many students, math can seem like a junk drawer, a smattering of one-use tools they are never sure quite how to wield. In this session, we will play with one tool I have come to love, the story table, that supports topics from middle school to precalculus: order of operations, evaluating expressions, solving equations, function transformations, inverse functions, and more. We will also consider the impact of our choice of tools on students' sense of belonging and ownership of ideas.
The Roles of Narratives and Storytelling in the Math Classroom
Dec. 15 | 4 p.m. ET
The roles of narratives and storytelling in the math classroom can help students connect to the math. Explore the embedded narratives within Amplify Desmos Math and how to support the shift to problem-based learning across the grades.
