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.

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.

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.

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.
