The Impact of the Mathematics Identity
General Interest
How does your identify affect your teaching of mathematics? How does your students’ identity affect how they learn mathematics? We will share lessons learned and offer suggestions for teacher coaching that we learned from our book study of The Impact of Identity in K-8 Mathematics.

Using Questioning to Improve Student Thinking
General Interest
Teachers ask many questions every day. How can teachers use questioning effectively to improve achievement? This session examines how teachers plan, ask, and reflect on their use of questions, providing tools to create environments where students do the sense making.

Introducing MCAP Grades 3-5 Mathematics
Pre -5
In this session, participants will be introduced to the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP). This assessment is the accountability assessment that will be given to students in grades 3-5, spring of 2020. Come and hear about it's features (new and improved) and participate in using the rubric that will be used to score reasoning and modeling constructive response items.

Room 3118
44
I can show what I hear: Connecting music to mathematics
PreK-5
Come and explore tasks that will engage your students in connecting different representations such as musical notations and Cuisenaire rods. A modeling task sequence to promote conceptual understanding of measurement ideas and unit concepts will be shared.

Making the Most of Meaningful Models
PreK-5, Exhibitor Showcase
Versatile models help teachers to articulate topics across elementary grades. Participants will discover practical activities using number lines, dot arrays, and area representations that can be used to teach major ideas involving basic facts, whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and computation strategies with deep conceptual understanding.
Melinda Schwartz
ORIGO Education
Room 3157
46
Keeping It Real: Making Real-World Connections in the Math Classroom
K-5
We will present the benefits of making real-world connections in the classroom to the math concepts being taught. We will also share ideas of how to make real-world and authentic math connections throughout the school year.

Build your Toolbox: Strategies to Promote Growth with Modeling and Reasoning
1-5
Participants reflect on modeling and reasoning SMPs, analyze reasoning tasks including student work samples and determine instructional next steps. Walk away with sample rubrics, strategy menu and monitoring tools to promote depth and student growth within grade level standards.

CoveRing the bAses: CRA Using Base Ten Blocks Part - 2
3-5, Leaders
Older kiddos like to play too! The base ten block is the most unappreciated manipulative that we all have. Join in this session to "play" with blocks to develop estimation, multiplication, and division strategies. We will also use the blocks to strengthen area, perimeter and volume. Learn new ways to use these gems to breathe new life into your math class and students' understanding through the CRA approach.

Charles County Public Schools
Room 3140
49
The Make 10! Challenge: Representing Operations to Understand the Order of Operations
3-8
Ever wonder why the order of operations works the way it does or how to teach it conceptually? Engage in the Make 10! Challenge to develop understandings of the order of operations through representations and the meanings of the operations. This groupworthy task allows for significant personalization, customization, and differentiation.

Coaching: A Relationship Building Approach
6-8, Leaders
Learn how to use relationship building strategies to build the teacher's capacity to make instructional decisions, self-reflections on their practice and support student-centered learning through literacy.
Marsha Hubbard

Room 3146
51
Empowering Teachers with Instructional Routines
6-12, Leaders
In this session coaches/leaders/teachers will learn how to motivate and inform all of the benefits of instructional routines within the classroom. Guidance on the importance of observing student's mathematical thinking, rewards for students, and equity based teaching practices.

Why Formative Assessment?
6-12
In this session, participants will learn more about formative assessment strategies, when to implement it into a lesson, and how to adjust a lesson off of formative assessment.

The Number Line: A Deep Dive
6-12
As mathematics teachers, numbers are our passion, and one well-known mathematical structure can help reveal this passion. Together we will dive into the number line to reveal special sequences and other rich mathematical curiosities, which will be unpacked and represented.
Mike Long
Howard County Community College
Room 3133
54
Looking For Zebras: Embracing Unexpected Solutions to Pattern Tasks
6-12
While we often associate visual patterns with a single solution, our session will push participants to re-evaluate the role of pattern ambiguity. In order to allow for mathematical honesty while meeting specific mathematical goals, we offer a few suggestions to open up pattern tasks.

Coding in Math Class!
6-12, Exhibitor Showcase
Your calculator can code! I'll demonstrate how I effectively incorporated coding into my math classes - you can too! We'll even make music! No experience required.

56
Get Outta My Swamp! Shrek Helps Calculus Students Master Optimization
9-12
In this session, participants will use substitution and the distance formula to create a function to model Shrek’s swamp, then use Desmos to connect concepts regarding the graph of a function and its derivative in order to learn optimization.
Rachel Schmitz
Gabriella Harris

Inverse Functions: A Lesson Study Across Three Classrooms
9-12
This session will explore a lesson study done by the three presenters on inverse functions, an important concept in Algebra 2. Participants will explore the math task themselves, and engage in reflective discussion about how the three presenters were able to learn from each other's implementations in their respective classrooms.
