Mathematical Conversations: Building Understanding Through Discourse FILLING
Monday March 24, 2025 9:30am - 10:30am EDT
This presentation will introduce practical discourse protocols to enhance students' deep understanding of mathematics. These strategies foster a classroom environment where students actively participate in discussions, challenging and building upon each other's ideas. By building on the knowledge and strengths of all students, these protocols will help to build a culture where all students feel that they belong in math class. Join us in redefining mathematics learning, making it an active, engaging, and deeply enriching experience for all students.

Coaching Walks: Supporting Math Coaches' Development FILLING
Monday March 24, 2025 10:40am - 11:40am EDT
Just as athletes or musicians improve through regular practice, instructional coaches can sharpen their skills through regular practice observations opportunities. This session introduces “Coaching Walks,” a low-stakes, high-frequency practice designed to build coaches' capacity to observe instruction for impact on student learning. Through partnered brief classroom visits, coaches move beyond surface-level observations of engagement and focus on the true impact of instruction on student learning.

Mathematics and Fairness: Problem Solving with an Eye to Social Justice
Monday March 24, 2025 1:50pm - 2:50pm EDT
Math is a powerful tool for navigating our world, and we need to let students in on that secret! In particular, issues of fairness pervade our society - from income inequality, to the availability of healthy foods, to gerrymandering, to FDA recommendations. Join us to learn about these mathematically rich, fairness-focused problems, do some math, and become familiar with the Math Teachers’ Circle 4 Social Justice community which supports teachers in building capacity with math for social justice.

Early Numeracy is Critical! Make an Impact! (K-2 Focus)
Monday March 24, 2025 3:00pm - 4:00pm EDT
Did you become a K- 6 leader without K-2 teaching experience like I did? Are your K-2 teachers supported in literacy but not math because they are not “testing grades”? Are you a K-2 teacher who wants to be as effective as possible teaching math? Then this session is for you. K-2 is a critical time for math learners. The session will examine key numeracy content and strategies to support teachers to effectively teach students in these grade levels.
