The Active Math Mindset: Strategic Lessons from the Classroom

Wednesday February 19, 2025
1:00 - 2:00 PM
Ballroom F

Active math learning helps students to focus, problem-solve, regulate emotions, reduce math anxiety, and increase motivation. In this presentation, you will learn practical, play-based learning, and kinesthetic strategies for making math fun, boosting fluency, building number sense, and tackling unfinished learning. I will share inspiring, real-life stories of active learning programs at Title I schools where learning skyrocketed and the classroom experience was enhanced for both educators and students. We will engage with the research behind the active learning framework and attendees will receive numerous movement-based activities to boost student engagement, confidence, and math fact fluency. Attendees will be able to supply their schools/classrooms with effective and highly engaging activities and resources - resources that are not only inclusive of all learning styles, but also impactful for students who have faced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
