Students develop a deeper understanding of mathematics by explaining their thinking and reflecting on their learning. Let’s take a look at some example math probes to uncover student ideas and powerful yet easy-to-implement reflection routines and talk about the keys to implementing a student-centered formative assessment classroom.

Mathematics classrooms can be a dehumanizing experience for many of our disabled students. In this presentation, we provide a framework for humanizing mathematics education. From this framework, we discuss how teachers can humanize the experiences of their disabled students through curricular, collaborative, and caring considerations.

Can whiteness be decentered in math education environments, to allow melanated children to unapologetically thrive? In this session, participants will learn how one’s identity affects one’s math environment, will make sense of what is means to be a melanated child, and will examine the key components of a math environment that allows students to thrive. Come and learn how to ensure every student has an opportunity to receive a high-quality, equitable mathematics experience.
Join us for the MTLT Journal Club’s May 10 meeting, from 7:00–8:00 p.m. Eastern. MTLT Department Editor Wendy Cleaves will facilitate a discussion on Kara Louise Imm, Despina A.
