Technology has quickly learned how to solve the most complex math problems. So what is left for us humans to do? In this interactive session, we will explore 5 ways to keep students engaged in the math classroom and prepare them to thrive in the 21st Century. Participants will leave with actionable steps to take toward implementing effective: - Standards-based grading - Inquiry based learning - Collaboration and communication - Problem solving - Analysis of various solution pathways
Participants will discover how to leverage Smarter Balanced interim assessment blocks to implement targeted strategies for improving student understanding. Participants will learn how to access student results, identify misconceptions, and use Tools for Teachers.
Come explore how using virtual manipulatives like a function machine, algebra tiles, a balance scale and more can help students make meaning of algebraic ideas. We'll use the free Polypad virtual manipulatives from Desmos Classroom.
This presentation explores how AI can revolutionize math education by enhancing, not replacing, traditional teaching methods. We'll demonstrate AI's potential to provide personalized practice, instant feedback, and creative problem-solving approaches. Discover how AI tools can free up educators' time for more meaningful student interactions and help develop critical thinking skills. Learn to harness AI's power to make math more engaging, accessible, and relevant for all students.
