    Abstract:

    This webinar is for math, science, social studies, or ESOL teachers. The slow reveal graphs instructional strategy takes the focus off getting the “right” answer and allows students from a variety of backgrounds to work together to share their curiosity and interpret graphs. The examples will introduce a social justice topic–Disproportionate Incarceration–and will allow your students to share their own visuals about a meaningful social justice topic using the unit plan provided.

    Abstract:

    Online, HyFlex/hybrid, and distance learning classrooms have changed how we teach, but not what we teach. In this session, we will look at using Jamboard as a way to explore virtual manipulatives, conceptual understanding, and student collaboration. We will start with “what is multiplication and division?”, connect it to factors, and then build to prime numbers and square roots. The focus will be on building conceptual understanding and coherence, while using virtual manipulatives in a platform where students have opportunities to collaborate.
