SUMMARY:I Got 99 Problems: Teaching Problem Solving in Mathematics Classrooms **IN PERSON** presented by Phil Dituri\, Ph.D. - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:It is commonly agreed upon that learning to be a good problem solver is an essential aspect of being a good mathematician. To that end\, teaching your students to be good problem solvers is at the heart of good mathematics teaching. Unfortunately\, problem solving is often left aside in the mathematics classroom. This is frequently due to curricular pressures and a fear of the unstructured nature of problem solving. In this workshop you will explore intriguing problems from various mathematical disciplines as well as several strategies and ideas that will help you teach your students to be successful problem solvers. In addition to solving these problems\, we will also explore the group dynamics\, routines\, and structures needed for facilitating problem solving in your own classroom. **Open to all MS and HS Mathematics Educators** Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 consortium seat. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x0X_WO1qUL7M2nlxkKOHof8aO8g_mh_l/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=4946132

SUMMARY:Engaging Students with Desmos EXPERIENCED USERS **ONLINE** presented by Andy Malbouef - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:The Desmos activity platform is a free digital platform that allows math teachers to engage and interact with their students. Simply\, it’s a sequence of screens\, each with a different task\, prompt\, or question. The screens in each activity can be as simple or sophisticated as the teacher desires. Purpose Desmos has a mission that says it’s goal is to help every student learn math and love learning math”. This involves far more than just simply solving math problems and inputting answers. Activities ask students to: -Make connections between scenarios they encounter and mathematical ideas. -Look for patterns and represent those patterns mathematically. -Take chances\, make mistakes\, and adjust their thinking based on those mistakes. -Ask questions and share misconceptions in a safe environment. Workshop Objectives -Familiarize teachers with Desmos calculators\, which are now available to use on NY Regents -assessments as well as embedded in the new digital SAT (2024). -Practical ways to teach lessons using Desmos calculators and activities. -Proven techniques to employ to get students to engage in lessons. -Addresses all levels of teacher familiarity\, from beginners to experienced users. -Strategies to improve the depth of student thinking using the Desmos platform. -Practical ways to create and use Computation Layer to add engagement to your lessons. Computation Layer is the code that allows the components within activities to talk” to one another. It lets you connect representations\, customize content\, and provide dynamic\, interpretive feedback. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.
