Questions, Questions, Do They Matter?

Monday July 14, 2025 10:45am - 12:15pm EDT

Asking the right questions can make a world of difference. Our current questioning strategies may not be working the way we intend. How can we improve our questioning strategies? What is the best question to ask in a given moment? Why can formulating questions seem so difficult? Come and engage in conversation and reflection on one of the most important teacher practices, posing purposeful questions.

Leveraging Language Objectives to Promote Mathematical Vocabulary and Understanding

Monday July 14, 2025 1:15pm - 2:45pm EDT

Citron West

Mathematical understandings and language develop interdependently. Often, we are confident supporting students with math, but not as confident supporting them with academic or second language acquisition. Language objectives are powerful tools that can be utilized in any K–12 math lesson to give multilinguals and all students access to grade-level tasks and opportunities to learn and strengthen language. Leave prepared to leverage language objectives as both a math and language teacher!

From Silence to Strategy: Fostering Student Voice in Secondary Mathematics

Tuesday July 15, 2025 10:45am - 12:15pm EDT

Citron West

True problem-based mathematics learning requires student conversation and engages students. How do we promote this engagement and discourse in secondary classrooms, particularly when learners may be used to more traditional, direct-taught math instruction? In this session, we’ll discuss and experience structures, strategies, and routines that help get middle and high school students talking and engaged.
