Shifting the Cognitive Load: Fostering Students’ Mathematical Identities (Keynote)
How often have you felt that you are working harder than your students in math class? In this keynote, the presenters will delve into strategies designed to shift the cognitive load from teachers to students, empowering them to take ownership of their mathematical identities. Through thought-provoking questioning, equitable opportunities for all learners, and strategic checks for understanding, participants will discover practical methods to creating equitable and engaging mathematics classrooms.

Representations: Opening the Door to Mathematical Ideas (Elementary)
Have you ever encountered challenges where teaching a procedure did not translate into student comprehension of the underlying concept? Student-generated representations hold a critical role in ensuring access to their understanding. In this session, we will examine the key role of representations, and the importance of supporting students in examining the mathematical connections among and between them. Finally, we will investigate research-based best practices to support students and educators in effective engagement with multiple representations.

Supporting Productive Struggle: A Path to Deeper Learning (Elementary)
Productive struggle is essential for deepening understanding, building problem-solving skills, and fostering students’ positive mathematical identities. In this session, we will explore how to select tasks and design effective questions that provide the opportunity for students to be challenged without disengaging. These tools will help you to foster a classroom environment that encourages students to develop resilience and believe in their capability to successfully learn important mathematics.

Deepening Number Sense and Reasoning through Routines (K-12)
In order to build students' number sense, participants will expand their understanding of procedural fluency to include carrying out procedures flexibly, accurately, and appropriately. Various routines that can be flexibly utilized in the classroom will be discussed that will support all mathematicians' number sense and reasoning skills. The joy and creativity of mathematics will be evident as we consider these routines for our classrooms.

Lead With the Math - Integrate the Personal Financial Literacy (Grade 7 and Beyond)
Ever have students say “When are we ever going to use this?” during your math lessons? A number of math skills are part of learning about financial literacy and can be practical applications for your classroom. Join us to “try out” some financial algebra activities and applications, as well as a list of resources you can apply to lessons you already use.

Lead With the Math - Integrate the Personal Financial Literacy (Grades K-6)
Feel like you can’t squeeze one more bit of new content into your planning? Financial literacy doesn’t have to be “new” – it can apply tools students are already learning – reading, math, etc... into a topic students are interested in – buying things and getting stuff! In this session we’ll look at an eclectic mix of resources and applications that will expand the lessons you already teach in math to look at money, decision-making, and real-world skills.
