Friday, June 24, 2016 3:00-4:30 Investigate Sessions Empowering Students to Make Connections Between Mathematical Representations Sharon Rendon 6-12 La Valencia A Participate in activities designed to develop a rich understanding of the connections between multiple representations of functions. Experience tasks that help students move from one representation to the others while developing a deep understanding of the CCSS Mathematical Practices. [email protected] Creating Mathematical Tasks that are Rigorous and Accessible to all Students Greisy WinickiLandman K-12 La Valencia B Identifying, creating and facilitating worthwhile mathematical tasks for all our students are part of our duties as educators at all grade levels. Participants will engage in different types of tasks and reflect on their commonalities and differences, creating a working framework for "rigorous but accessible to all" tasks. [email protected] Wicihitowin: Exploring Mathematics Education Leadership Through the Lens of Indigenous Perspectives Florence Glanfield General Grande Ballroom A Indigenous perspectives are situated on principles of reciprocity, relevance, respect, relationship, and responsibility within communities. Participants will explore leadership in mathematics education through the lens of Indigenous perspectives in this session. [email protected] Leveraging Collaborative Design Challenges to Inform Mathematics Instruction and Assessment for Diverse Learners Sarah Clarkson & Michelle Higgins General Grande Ballroom B Experience a design challenge that provides all learners with opportunities to showcase proficient mathematical thinking and mathematically productive habits of mind. Explore the use of inquiry, note booking, and group sense-making strategies as elements of formative assessment that honors learners’ social and cultural capital and reinforces a positive mathematics identity. [email protected], [email protected] Comparing Functions in Multiple Representations: Using Learning Map Models to Identify Prerequisites, Inform Instruction, and Assess Learning Lindsey Weiland & Natasha Cox 6-12 Grande Ballroom C We will explore a learning map model and engage in activities focused on comparing functions. Our games and activities address diverse learning needs and promote discourse, setting the conditions for providing students the descriptive feedback they need to close learning gaps. Participants can request samples of the activities. [email protected] , [email protected] TODOS 2016 !23
