OAME 2020 Session Description: Given the recent surge of research and resources in spatial reasoning, this workshop will focus on digging deeper into looking at where to start and how to cultivate and assess spatial thinking in a K-3 classroom. Taking a hands-on approach, this workshop will include a range of invitations for learning that explore aspects of spatial thinking (such as symmetry, orienting, coding, composing/decomposing shapes etc.) as wells as assessment tools to help guide thinking.

OAME 2021 Session Description: As young learners, children spend years developing sense of number as well as the ability to count efficiently, as a foundation for higher operations. However when we introduce students to integers, we often jump right into operations without laying that same solid foundation with students' sense of negative numbers. This results in students often confusing the "rules" for adding and subtracting integers throughout the intermediate grades, and without the ability to judge the reasonableness of their solutions. Join us as we restore the balance between using integer rules efficiently and being able to reason through problems using multiple representations, by looking at a new twist on time-honoured number sense activities. Appropriate for grade 6-10 teachers.

OAME 2021 Session Description: We are trying "growth portfolios" throughout our Grade 9 courses as tools for students to reflect on their development as mathematicians. By prioritizing the mathematical processes and social and emotional learning, we hope to empower more resilient learners. We'll share how we are taking our gradeless classrooms to a different level by developing in our students the skills to monitor their own progress and reflect on their own growth.

OAME 2021 Session Description: This session will highlight several concrete pedagogical practices for developing more equitable learning spaces in a new destreamed environment using Rochelle Gutierrez's four dimensions of equitable math education. As politics of power and privilege are inextricably connected to policy shifts that address equity, this session will also touch upon those dynamics as they relate to math programming and suggest possible responses. This session will be geared towards math leaders (department heads, school administrators, instructional coaches, etc.) who will play important roles to ensure that destreaming math addresses societal inequities as intended.
