Taking Action Together in Mathematical Teaching and

Learning: Empowering Teachers to Empower

Students

What does it mean to combine our math superpowers to work together to impact
student learning and empower students mathematically? We will look at individual and
collective responsibilities and opportunities and what our role is in taking action to effect
student mathematical learning along with engaging in mathematical tasks and exploring
resources available and needed to do this. Let’s empower teachers’ math superpower
through action that can then empower students in learning mathematics. Let’s do this!
