ATMNE 2024: Teaching Students to Think with AI in the Math Classroom

Session Summary: AI tools are valuable resources to build and extend student thinking. In this session, you'll explore how AI can deepen students' mathematical understanding through the use of creative prompts. This hands-on, computer-based, minds-on experience will immerse you in practical classroom applications of AI. AI novices are welcome!

NCTM 2024 - Chicago

Session Summary: Looking to enhance your teaching strategies? If 'Turn and Talk' isn't sparking the discourse and engagement you desire, join this session. You'll experience four easy-to-implement, research-backed techniques that promote peer-to-peer justification, evaluation, and idea synthesis.

ATMNE 2024, NCTE-NCTM 2024 Conference: Letting Learners Lead through Upside Down Teaching

Session Summary: Have you ever heard of upside-down teaching? This teaching structure turns the "I do, we do, you do" teaching structure upside down so that students lead the learning. This session provides participants with a tested, authentic process for implementing an upside-down teaching structure that allows all students to tap into their prior knowledge, collaborate, and show you what they know.

Accelerating Learning

Using Visualization to Support Problem Solving

Slide Deck: Using Math Manipulatives as Tools of Proof

Summary: Math manipulatives are often used as 'answer getting' tools. For example, when students are asked to show equivalent amounts to 3/4 using fraction bars, many students just match and see what fits. Are they thinking and developing a deep conceptual understanding of equivalence or are they just matching? This, handson session focuses on how to use readily available math manipulatives and materials in a way that fosters reasoning, justification, and flexible thinking. You will leave this session with a deeper understanding of how students at the upper elementary and middle school levels can model their thinking and understanding using math manipulatives.

Number Bead String Resources (from Amazon):

• The list below will make 20 number bead strings.

• I recommend each student making two number bead strings.

• One for school use and 1 for home use.

• Buy extra just in case beads get lost.
