All students need to feel that their classes are safe spaces where they can explore and discuss their ideas. When students do not feel free to share their mathematical reasoning or understandings without fear of negative personal or social consequences, they may intentionally limit their participation in discussions. We will discuss what students say helps them feel psychologically safe in their mathematics classes and how teachers can help provide these discussion friendly spaces.
Do you ever wonder how to give students timely feedback on their understanding of math content? Do you wonder how confident students are with the material they are learning? Desmos is a great solution to both of these questions. During this session, I will discuss how I use Desmos in my classroom. I will show how I use the computation layer in Desmos to design “lock in your answer” questions as a way to assess student thinking. I will also show participants how students can self-assess their understanding of a concept using Desmos, and how teachers can quickly identify students who need extra support. Participants will walk away with formative assessment templates they can use in their own classrooms.
Introduction of an engaging and personalized solution that invites students to explore and learn mathematical concepts. Utilizing a dynamic AI engine, students engage in topics that they are ready to learn. An adaptive learning tool for students, while being a time-saving aide for educators, enabling them to make informed instructional decisions based on data-driven insights.
Discover effective methods to set students up for success in your secondary math classrooms. This presentation will delve into classroom structures, learning stations and guided math, to enhance learning and engagement. Join us to learn how these approaches can transform your math classroom into a space where every student can thrive.
