Description:  Creating opportunities to foster rich discourse, collaborative discovery, and deep thinking involves intentional planning by classroom teachers. Ensuring there are moments of fun, play, and joy in our mathematical spaces also requires essential design. Through experiencing tasks and games, learn key elements that help you cultivate and nurture meaningful and joyful learning opportunities for your own classroom context.

Description: In this workshop, we will explore the teaching and learning of mathematics using a social justice lens and ways of connecting Math with students’ cultural and community histories. Math has the power to help us understand and potentially change the world. We want our students to not only understand the mathematics, but also to understand the mathematics of political knowledge, understand the politics of mathematical knowledge and understand the politics of knowledge.

Description: You have, or wish, to put thinking is at the core of math learning for your students. After all, you know that your students can’t construct rich understandings, make meaningful connections, strategically manage problems, and communicate clearly and concisely in math in the absence of thinking, or should I say good thinking. But how can you tell how well your students have learned to think mathematically? How can you help each of your students grow the quality of their thinking in a way that meets their individual learning needs? Come explore a few key assessment practices that will begin to answer these questions for you. Reference will be made to key ideas found in the resource: Assessing Mathematical Thinking: A focus on reasoning competencies (available for purchase) where additional support materials can be found.

Description: As we explore mathematics from the perspective of cultural relevance, it is imperative that we support students in moving beyond problem solving towards mathematical modelling. Far too often, students are engaged in defined problems that require them to apply Polya's four stages of problem solving. Mathematizing Student Thinking is about supporting teachers in assigning ill-defined problems that require students to engage in mathematical modelling. In this session, I will highlight the importance of ill-defined problems and such problems require students to broaden their approach to problem solving to include mathematical modelling. It is about supporting students in becoming confident and capable math learners who can mathematize a situation and solve real-world problems.
