How Do We Think About Mathematics Standards in Our Current World?
Kim Yoak
Given current events and so many individual and collective experiences long past, as well as those that will occur in the future, how might we revise/refine our mathematics standards to promote peace, justice, and a world where all people flourish?  Going beyond content, what thinking and reasoning habits should we be developing with all students?  When do these habits become more important than specific content?  Join me in a conversation about these questions.

Learning is Messy
Sandra Wilder & Amber Porter
Learning is definitely messy! We have all heard this saying and many of us have said it, but what does that really mean? What does messy learning look like in a math classroom? And how do we create opportunities for our students to engage in messy learning and yet emerge from this experience as successful learners of mathematics?
