Interested in learning how you can support students to experience the love and joy of mathematics? USU researchers will share the practical applications of their research, all revolving around the common goal of enjoying mathematics. Come join us for an interactive workshop which will include four stations, each with a glimpse into various ways you might help students enjoy mathematics. Dr. Vela will share about garden-based STEAM learning, Dr. Campbell will teach you about the different elements of well-being in mathematics and STEM, Dr. Frierson will highlight the potential of AI in supporting students’ STEM-based projects, and Dr. Shumway will share what her team has learned about students' spatial and computational thinking when learning to code with robot coding tools and what these results mean for elementary mathematics teaching. The session will end with participants sharing their ideas for how they can implement what they have learned in their classrooms.
