Finding Joy in Math

May 30, 2023

It is common for a math educator to hear “I’m not a math person” or “Oh, I hate math.” How can we show that math as a subject is something to go towards rather than avoid? In this talk, we will discuss ways of finding joy in doing math inside and outside of the classroom.

Building Thinking Classrooms: Six Years Later

May 16, 2023

There is no denying it—teaching is different now. We all feel it. And we see it manifest in our schools and communities, as well as in state and national politics. So, at this moment of inflection in K12 education, where do we go from here? Join me as we ask some big questions, share our collective experience, and begin to reimagine the next phase of our educational practice. Let's chat about grading and assessment, culturally and historically responsive pedagogy, and steps we can take to ensure our classrooms cultivate genius and joy for all students.

(Note: Due to technical difficulties, about 6 minutes of the audio was edited out.)

What We Learned about Math, Teaching and Technology While Building Desmos

April 18, 2023

For the last ten years, Desmos has worked to help students learn math and love learning math. We are at a pivotal moment as colleagues, as is Global Math Department, so several of us wanted to offer a reflection on what we've learned about math, teaching, technology, and work of education. Join us for a series of presentations and a Q&A; afterwards.

Presenters: Dan Meyer, Eli Luberoff, Faith Moynihan and Stephanie Blair

Street Data from Implementing Building Thinking Classrooms in Middle School

April 4, 2023

This is a story of a coach and a teacher moving from playing with non-curricular tasks last spring to implementing the BTC framework regularly with curricular tasks this year. Our journey is not over, but our street data are showing a powerful shift toward a thinking classroom. As students begin to view each other as sources of knowledge, we are seeing transformations in the role of the teacher and in the mathematics identities of students. I will share one teacher's process, as well as resources she has developed along the way. You will have the opportunity to analyze student reflections and join us in crafting next steps.
