FULL - A - The Power of Progressions: Untangling the Knotty Areas of Teaching and Learning Math
As more teachers look to add high-yield tasks to their repertoire, the struggle to make it all work becomes real. Let's examine how problem-based lessons can be used throughout the scope of a unit and how we can harness their power to move student thinking forward. We'll identify strategies and explore some tasks that help us find a healthy balance between application, conceptual understanding, and procedural fluency.
Presenter: Graham Fletcher
Graham Fletcher has served in education as a classroom teacher, math instructional lead, and currently as a math specialist. He is continually seeking new and innovative ways to support students and teacher in their development of conceptual understanding in elementary mathematics. He is a coauthor of Building Fact Fluency and openly shares many of his resources at gfletchy.com.

Suitable for:K-Grade 8
FULL - B - The Floor is Lava (Part 1) & Planning Vibrant Math Lessons (Part 2)
Part 1: The Floor is Lava : Creating Mathematical Possibility by Constraining Mathematical Possibility
Rich mathematical activity is often associated with open problems and we rarely pair the limits on student actions with an increase in mathematical possibility. However, in this session we consider how playing with what is forbidden in a mathematical task can help us design and use problems that open doors to deep mathematical understanding.
Part 2: Planning Vibrant Math Lessons by Focusing on Mathematical Decision Making
This session explores my fundamental belief that rich mathematical activity starts when students are given opportunities to be designers and decision-makers, and not just describers and direction-followers. With a focus on practical application to the math classroom, we will discuss how attending to mathematical decisions inform my day-to-day lesson planning in the mathematics classroom, pushes back on passive mathematical environments, and invites students to engage in mathematical sense making.
