Math Routines are Magical! Until They Are Not
With Annie ForrestMath Routines are Magical, Until They Aren’t: Troubleshooting Common Challenges with Math Routines Many curriculums and districts encourage the use of routines such as Math Talks, Which One Doesn’t Belong, Number Strings, Notice/Wonder etc. You see students sharing multiple strategies or those “aha!” moments. But there can be challenges. From students refusing to share, to no one understanding what to do, to finding resources, to a 10-minute routine turning into a boring 30 minutes, I’ve been there! This session will explore what can go wrong with routines and strategies to help it go right!

Geometry & Construction: You don’t have to build a house
At Rockford University Faculty Luchroom With Aimee Hart & Devan Castellano From New Trier High School, District 203, WinnetkaAlthough there are some very cool classes called Geometry in Construction that build a house while learning geometry, we have focused on smaller projects tied to the Geometry curriculum at our school. Geometry, Design and Construction is offered at all levels and attracts a variety of students. We cover our traditional geometry curriculum, and students use the math they learn to design and build small and large projects. We will give an overview of the course, examples of the mathematics in action and how to choose projects when you have limited space and budget.
