⭐Mathematical Reasoning: The Force Awakens⭐

This session will take participants on an interstellar journey to discover practical ways to implement and support students' mathematical reasoning through writing, all in connection with the Math CAASPP Performance Tasks. Attendees will actively engage with the presenters, participating in mathematical reasoning tasks both as students and teachers.

Encouraged conversations among participants will center around sharing ideas and tactics for effective implementation. Teachers will leave with strategies to help students truly understand the structure of purposeful mathematical writing, enhancing their mastery with increased rigor and engagement while integrating several Mathematical Practices. May the Mathematical Force be with you.

📝Creating Meaningful Performance Tasks Using Google Tools

Participants can expect to experience a Performance Task using digital tools that emulate SBAC format which will provide fast and valuable feedback for your students. Information from this session will empower teachers for Monday's lesson. Attendees will prepare for participation in a collaborative design process by experiencing an SBAC style Performance Task using Google Tools for Education. The end result will be the capacity to create their own high rigor Performance Tasks using technology which will provide valuable timely feedback to both teachers and students in order to guide instruction. This session and its tasks will deepen the understanding of the evidence elicited from all students through different types of Performance Tasks. It will prepare teachers and students to become better consumers and adapters of Performance Tasks. Mathematical Reasoning will be integrated in all tasks for this session.
