final conference program

Transcription

Welcome from BCAMT President Michael Pruner
Welcome to the 51st annual Northwest Mathematics conference in
Whistler, BC. I am really excited to see the excellent line up of speakers
and sessions that have been organized for the next three days. I
feel privileged to be a part of this event, and I hope that you will all
find something that helps with your teaching of mathematics. That
‘something’ may be an idea, a resource, or even a network of colleagues
to collaborate with in the future. I think that you being here speaks to
your passion for mathematics education, and I thank you for bringing
your passion to share with others.
On behalf of the BCAMT, I would like to acknowledge and thank the fine
group of people that have worked so hard to make this event a reality.
To the conference committee who has been working on organizing this
event for the past two years, and to all of the student and site volunteers that are continuing to
make your experience at Whistler a good one, I would like to extend a sincere thank-you.
We are all going to see and hear some new ideas over the next three days, so let’s Scale some New
Heights together and continue to make Math Education in BC great.
Welcome from Conference Chair Selina Millar
On behalf of the conference committee, welcome to “Scaling New
Heights” Northwest Math Conference 2015! We are thrilled and
proud to provide you a program that offers some of the best
professional development in mathematics teaching.
A conference of this calibre is always due to the combined efforts
of individuals. As the conference chair, I would like to express my
sincerest gratitude to this most amazing committee. It is through
three years of their collaboration, expertise and commitment that this
conference has come to fruition.
As we know, learning is a social process that involves connecting
the learning, the learners and the learned. We hope that you will
take advantage of the opportunities offered at this amazing site of
Whistler and ascend to new personal heights!

Learning Slope Via Rate Not Rote
Stefanie Hassan, Great Minds, Washington, DC
Grades
6–10
Friday
8:30-9:15
Empress A
(Fairmont)
Coherence is an effective way to grow students' understanding of a concept. If what they learn in a particular
grade is built upon and applied in subsequent grade levels, then students have a chance to achieve the goal of
conceptual understanding. Students should know that the slope between any two points on a line is the same.
The mathematical foundation of rates, unit rates, proportionality and the constant of proportionality, along with
knowledge of similar triangles, leads to a simple explanation of slope as the unit rate of a proportional relationship,
which is then generalized to the traditional slope formula. Coherence between rate and slope will ensure greater
understanding of a challenging concept.

Empress C
(Fairmont)
Telling stories is an intrinsic part of being human. Whether we admit it or not, we are fascinated by the scandalous
and salacious, the gory and the grotesque, the sentimental and the sappy. The question is, how does storytelling
connect to the teaching and learning of math? Storytelling in a math class can take several forms: personal stories
which allow students to relate to the teacher's own learning process; historical stories which enable students to
understand the progress of math throughout the centuries; and didactic stories, told to help the listener better
understand math concepts. Math is a story like any other, and by presenting it as such, we can connect the
abstractions of math with the essential humanity of telling stories.

10:30-12:10
Callaghan
(Westin)
Gauss asserted to his students “You have no idea how much poetry there is in a table of logarithms,” but he could
have illustrated the point had he passed out slide rules. Logarithmic scales contain a rich portrait of mathematical
relationships that are difficult to discern from tables, and nearly invisible in modern calculators. Slide rules may
belong in a museum, but they should hang alongside the Mona Lisa. This workshop is intended to provide a
hands-on activity that can be done with high school students at a variety of grade and skill levels. Participants will
construct logarithmic scales with paper and pencil, and explore some of the numerical relationships hidden within.
Anyone with a slide rule gathering dust in a drawer is encouraged to bring it along. Part of the session will be
devoted to learning to use and appreciate the tool used to build bridges and skyscrapers, power cities, design the
747, and take us to the Moon. These heights could not have been scaled without these scales!

What are students actually doing in the mathematics classroom? We all “know” what can and does go on in the
classroom – but do we know quite how prevalent this behaviour is, and do we really understand why students
do certain things? In this presentation I look at student behaviour in the mathematics classroom. In particular,
I wanted to find out what behaviours students exhibit in different settings within the mathematics classroom,
and what motives drive their behaviours. My view from the back of the classroom gained me access to a host of
behaviours that I was not privy to as the teacher. I was able to observe student actions and then conduct informal
interviews within the context of the classroom. Conversations with students within the context of the classroom
provide insight into student goals, which together with observed actions can be used to deduce motive.

Judy Larsen, University of British Columbia, Abbotsford, BC
Grades
K–12
Saturday
8:30-9:15
Emerald A
(Westin)
With so many different interpretations of the flipped classroom, it's difficult to know what to make of it. Recent
research on student experiences of a flipped mathematics classroom reveals that it is possible to use the flipped
classroom model to create a student-centered environment conducive to autonomous learning, engagement
with material, and out-of-the-box thinking. However, methods of implementation may impact this possibility. In
this session, participants will have a chance to compare a variety of popular flipped classroom approaches and
differentiate between aspects of the flipped classroom that 'scale new heights' and aspects that don't.

Developing Statistical Reasoning Across the
Grades
Gail Burrill, Michigan State University
Grades
K–12
Saturday
8:30-9:15
Frontenac B
(Fairmont)
Engaging students in reasoning about and making sense of data begins with core statistical concepts such as
distribution, graphical representations and number summaries such as median and interquartile ranges, mean as
fair share and mean as balance point, deviations, and standard deviation. With this foundation, students can begin
to reason from random samples and use simulation to make informal inferences about the populations from which
the samples were drawn. Interactive dynamic technology and contexts such as animal speeds, soccer scores, and
the number of pairs of shoes students own make these important statistical ideas concrete.

Implications of Organizational Strategies in Problem Solving
Vanessa Radzimski, University of British Columbia
Grades
K–7
Saturday
9:30-10:15
Empress C
(Fairmont)
Through a problem solving case study with a nine year old student, Ashley, I investigate how Ashley's
organizational strategies prompted discoveries and conversely, how the discoveries she made throughout the
interview influenced new organizational strategies. The study takes place during an interview with the child while
investigating the problem "How Many Towers?" published in Teaching Children Mathematics (TCM). If our goal
as mathematics educators is to assist in the development of independent mathematical thinkers, being open to
children's own mathematical strategies, will help us reach this goal. Allowing students the space to explore their
own strategies and unique representations. I argue, teacher-child conversations assist both participants to learn
from each other.
