Description: This session will involve exploring a multi-faceted approach to enacting greater equity in mathematics classrooms. By examining key concepts related to expectations, Elder knowledge, ethics, and epistemology, we will consider what these ideas look like when enacted in mathematics classrooms. Examples will draw from K to 12 classrooms allowing all participants to find ideas they can take back to their own classroom. We will work with numerous hands-on activities that have been developed in partnership with Indigenous and Black communities.

Description: Picture walking into your classroom and the room abuzz with chatter about the lesson. Students throughout the room are using materials to make physical and meaningful connections to math concepts. During this workshop, we will explore implementing rich math tasks into the classroom without the need for a worksheet. We’ll learn how to document student thinking through oral conversations and observations and discover tools to enrich mathematical understanding.

Description: Some of our favourite math instructional routines also work beautifully for teaching coding! They generate talk and create space for seeing and thinking differently—a perfect way to explore and consolidate concepts, skills, and project builds. Get a taste of sensemaking routines adapted for teaching elementary and middle-grade coding. No coding experience is assumed. Bring these routines back to your classroom, or a colleague’s, and help make code truly graspable and accessible, just like math.

ChatGPT is a general-purpose artificial intelligence - that doesn't work for a community that is focused on math education, but more particularly, on Ontario-designed (and often world-leading) curricula, pedagogy and assessment. This session will showcase the ChatGPT that has been designed for Ontario math educators, but will work for any ChatGPT service. We'll also encounter errors (and how we've built it to minimize them) and the persistent issue of bias. Come play with ChatOAME!
