Students come to us with differing math identities, which
means some students are more prone to see themselves as doers of mathematics
than others. Furthermore, apparent inequities in math instruction suggest that
some students have opportunities to bring their voice into the classroom, and
others do not. In order to extend the invitation to all students to do
mathematics, we must work to explicitly develop the math learning community. To
support teachers to develop math learning communities in their classrooms, the
first unit of each course embeds structures to collectively identify what it
looks like and sounds like to do math together, create, and reflect on
classroom norms that support those actions. This session will look deeply at
the materials provided by the curriculum as well as an in-depth look at
building a mathematical community in your classroom.
The zoom links will be sent out the day before the session.
