What a Concept! Fostering a Deep Understanding of

Mathematical Concepts

There is a connection between student discourse and student thinking; and there is
a relationship between student thinking and mathematical proficiency, identity, and

agency. Participants will discover how to cultivate an environment that leverages the

talking/thinking connection to enhance the development of mathematical concepts.

Operationally Learning about Active Learning

Defining active learning for both research and practice is complex and challenging.

aspects of student engagement, but how do we operationalize these ideas? This

session will help engage the audience in recognizing how to properly use active

learning strategies.
