Math, Coding, and Programming… Oh My! Connecting Coding to the Standards for Mathematical Practice!
PreK-2
Do you love fun and engaging math activities? You will participate in a variety of hands-on activities to develop computational thinking and introductory coding concepts. You will engage in activities that include robotics, coding apps, web-based games, and unplugged activities to help increase problem solving, number sense, and basic operations..

If Mathematics is a Universal Language, Why Do So Few Speak It?
3-8, Exhibitor Showcase
Discourse-driven classrooms become a reality when all students are enabled to think critically, collaborate to solve problems, critique the reasoning of others, and ultimately, own their learning with a growth mindset. This session will focus on strategies for facilitating and enhancing mathematical discussions in the classroom that will encourage students to own their learning, build a growth mindset, and develop deeper conceptual understanding.

Effective Questioning and Discussion Techniques
3-12
Want to increase student engagement and performance while learning to allow students to drive their own instruction? Then this session is for you! We will focus on ways to pose purposeful questions and facilitate meaningful mathematical discourse, resulting in more student-led discussions. Be prepared to have fun in this interactive session!

Math 1-2-3 to X-Y-Z. Explore How One Strategy Builds a Cohesive Conceptual Structure Promoting Equity in the Classroom
3-12 
The purpose is to engage participants in a mathematical concept through a hands-on approach that promotes inquiry, group work, and equity in a classroom. Participants will leave understanding the importance of equity and teaching using the Concrete-Representational-Abstract [CRA] learning trajectory.

Shearing: Not Sheep but Shapes.  Unpacking Geometry Coherence
6-8 
Want to build on what students already know to help teach grade level geometry? Can shearing help your students understand the connections between figures? Can shearing help your students to visualize the Pythagorean theorem? Don’t know shearing, come find out!

Reversing "I Do, We Do, You Do" with Technology
6-12 
Participants will see how technology can reverse “I Do, We Do, You Do” and facilitate group work, discovery, discourse and authentic differentiation. Differentiation occurs as students discover different pathways and develop conceptual understanding that leads to procedural fluency. Laptops and tablets required for full participation. Content covered will range from Math 6 to Precalculus.

Building Activities in Desmos, Part II
6-12
Participants will receive an introduction to the Activity Builder feature. Teachers will critique/enhance an activity and discover what makes a powerful Desmos Activity for classroom use. Participants will build their own activities within Desmos.

Premeditation: A Thoughtful, Comprehensive Approach to Improving Students’ MCAP Performance
9-12
We will share the process and resources we created and used over several months to prepare students (and teachers) for success on the MCAP. Components included Numeracy warm-ups, MCAP aligned warm-ups, a Saturday session, and four week before lessons.

Logarithm Properties Jigsaw
9-12
A “jigsaw” is used to discover properties of logarithms. In groups, students will look for patterns and construct viable arguments to create definitions of one of the log properties. Students will regroup to “Teach” their property to a new group.
