• Living Tree of Mathematics: Fractions from Ancient Egypt to Classic China to Modern Japan. What We Can Learn from Their Effective Ways to Work with, Teach, and Learn Fractions

  • When
    25 May 2021
  •  
    7:00 PM (EDT)

  Presented by: Vera Sarina,

  It is a well-documented fact that many students struggle with fractions. Problems in understanding and applying fractions persist into adulthood, with moderate to severe consequences for everyday and occupational decision making. Why is it that fractions present such a difficult topic conceptually and procedurally? Is it because of deficiencies in teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge? Or is the nature of common, nondecimal fractions quite hard to grasp and internalize? And then, what is the nature of fractions anyway? In this presentation, we will look at the history of fractions and fraction operations in the ancient Egyptian and classic Chinese mathematical traditions as well as modern Japanese teaching approaches. These exercises will help us define some effective ways to understand, teach, and learn fractions.

• It All Starts with Noticing and Wondering

  • When
    1 Jun 2021
  •  
    7:00 PM (EDT)

  Presented by: Annie Fetter,

  Want to help students generate ideas and make connections among them, facilitate the development of a range of problem-solving strategies, and support a classroom culture that gives every student a way to contribute, while treating math as a creative process? We’ll talk about how Noticing and Wondering can contribute to all of that . . . and more.

• 3-Act Tasks: Filling the Void of Mathematical Modeling in the Elementary Grades

  • When
    8 Jun 2021
  •  
    6:00 PM (EDT)

  Presented by: Graham Fletcher,

  As elementary educators, we’ve misinterpreted the term model as simply the use of manipulatives. This is causing our students to miss the mark when it comes to modeling with mathematics. Through the use of 3-Act tasks, we’ll explore what mathematical modeling is, what it looks like, and how we can support this work in our elementary classrooms.

• Mathematically Productive Instructional Routines and Planning for Equity

  • When
    15 Jun 2021
  •  
    7:00 PM (EDT)

  Presented by: Aaron Rumack,

  Routinely using a 5- to 15-minute learning activity can create a structure for teachers and students to engage together in mathematics. This positions students at the center of sense making in the classroom. We’ll use two such routines, Notice and Wonder and 10-Minute Talks, to explore Stembridge’s five questions for planning with equity in mind.

  NCTM Research Committee is configuring the 2021 Research Conference to better support the individual, community, and collective needs and opportunities of the mathematics education research and PK-12 communities.

  To bring these communities together more effectively, the 2021 Research Conference will be a virtual event held October 4 – 8, 2021.

  The focus of the conference will be to strengthen the connections and collaborations within and across communities, to increase active engagement during and after the conference, and to better understand challenges and opportunities to move forward through increased connections between research and practice at all levels and positively influence the impact mathematics teaching learning has for each and every student, teacher, and community.

  Submitters will have the opportunity to continue, revise or withdraw their submissions. These and other submission/participation opportunities will be online by April 1.
