Description: Earlier research uncovers a multitude of “in the in-the-moment” motivating desires that accompany mathematical problem solving. These motivating desires evoke differing patterns of engagement and social interaction. In this presentation, we share our most current data (survey, individual interview, and focus group techniques) involving prospective K-6 teachers’ motivating desires as they work in groups […]
Description: In this session, teachers and coaches will participate in activities that build a teacher's toolbox of engagement strategies. Participants will learn about and experience strategies to engage students in a variety of mathematical practices. Walk away with specific structures that you can immediately implement in your daily practice!
Description: Teacher's will be working on virtual labs of their choice in social constructivist groups to see how NJCTL integrates hands-on virtual labs in mathematics to promote understanding through discovery. They will have fun along the way! www.njctl.org
Description: In this hands-on workshop, participants will engage in several rich problems selected from the areas of number and operations, algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, calculus and discrete mathematics. Each of the problems will address a number of the Eight Standards For Mathematical Practice.
Description: Are you a fan of Dan Meyer and Graham Fletcher? We've taken their existing 3 Act Tasks and transformed them into ready-to-use, teacher friendly lessons in a convenient slide show format. Come preview our work and you will leave with a collection of these lessons.
Description: In this session, teachers will have a chance to explore algebra tiles and learn how to use them to simplify expressions, solve equations, and engage in polynomial multiplication, and factoring using the virtual Algebra Tiles. Participants will practice a series of problems they can use with students to build their conceptual understanding of these […]
Description: Learn about Nearpod, an interactive platform that provides opportunities for teaching and learning mathematics in a fun interactive way, with embedded explorations, simulations, formative assessment, and many more features in live and self-paced settings.
Description: Everybody knows that Desmos is an amazing tool for graphing! In this session we will explore some of the amazing things the graphing calculator can also do besides graph. We will explore: coordinate geometry, distributions, probability, student feedback, and some other new tools. Twitter: @mrcorleymath @algebradesmos
Description: Learn more about this excellent, top-rated, free curriculum with a 7th and 8th grade math teacher in their second year of full middle school implementation. How is it different from what students and teachers have been doing before? Explore the "growing pains" of leading students through rich, valuable tasks that improve their ability to […]
