Great teams communicate on and off the field—and strong math classrooms do the same! In this session, elementary educators will explore how to build a winning “math team” (class) through purposeful student discourse. Learn practical strategies to get every player in the game, including math talk play calls, team signals, and structured partner huddles. Walk away with ready-to-use tools that help you coach a classroom culture where every student takes the field, shares their thinking, and works together to score big in math learning.
Shift from teacher-led instruction to student-driven exploration. In this session, you’ll explore instructional stations and "Thinking Classroom" strategies through hands-on mock rotations. Discover how movement and collaboration can diversify learning while fostering student independence. Leave with a clear roadmap to implement these engaging strategies in your classroom.
