In this presentation, we will share our experiences with integrating mathematics and programming in fifth-grade classrooms. We approached this integration with three key features in our lessons: visualization of important math concepts, anchor ideas that cross coding and math, and the framing of content to help students make connections. We will share our exponents, fractions, and geometry lessons and show how we used coding to provide students with meaningful spaces to engage with interactive contexts to broaden their mathematics conceptions.
In this session we reflect upon equity in the teaching of mathematics content and how rough draft and revising can be considered an equity-minded pedagogical approach. As a part of being equity-minded, teachers and classmates strive to recognize the strengths in students’ thinking at any stage, including drafts and revisions. We will experience learning through drafting and revising and reflect on equity implications.

Dive into a case study of how students used mindset to examine their views about math and transformed not only their core math memories but their mathematical achievement.
Dive into the transformative power of peer tutoring in this interactive session. We will explore the transformative power of peer tutoring, providing educators with research-backed strategies to integrate it into their math classrooms. Participants will gain practical skills in training, assessing, and pairing students as peer tutors, while exploring different types of tutoring and their impact on leadership and communication. The workshop includes hands-on simulations, a live demonstration of peer tutoring sessions with technology, and a reflective discussion to help educators apply these insights effectively in their own teaching contexts. You will also receive tailored materials to help scaffold peer tutoring strategies specific to your educational contexts.
Discover how to transform your math classroom into a personalized learning environment with Canvas. In this session, we will explore strategies for implementing self-paced learning, empowering students to take control of their learning journey. Learn how to effectively organize and manage your math curriculum using Canvas tools, create mastery-based checkpoints, and provide individualized support to ensure every student can progress at their own pace. Perfect for educators looking to enhance student engagement and autonomy in math!
Are your young learners able to demonstrate growth and proficiency on the Acadience Math assessment without having to be “taught” the test? This session will address how to align the teaching and learning of the Utah Core State Standards to Acadience Math while continuing to meet the recommendations for teaching math to young children.
I will be showing teachers how I incorporated building thinking classrooms into my math class. I will also show teachers how this has created better thinking in my students as well as how it has saved me time and effort as a teacher.
