Access and Equity for All Learners Thomas Duarte duarte_t@auhsd.us @Thomasduarte13 High School Teacher NBCT, NCTM Classroom Resources Committee

Goal: • Identify strategies to increase communication within a math classroom and check if units are designed for all learners.

Access and Equity • “An excellent mathematics program requires that all students have access to high quality mathematics curriculum, effective teaching and learning, high expectations, and the support and resources needed to maximize their learning potential .” (Principals to Action)

$100,000 Pyramid $100,000 $75,000 $50,000 $25,000

$100,000 Pyramid ∆ Divide the class in two groups. ∆ Each group will select three representative. ∆ (2) Defines the word/vocabulary. ∆ (1) Guess the vocabulary. ∆ Cannot use the word (or rhyming) ∆ Can use synonyms and examples. ∆ Each team is given a maximum of 3 minute to guess all the vocabulary . ∆ Each level is worth $25,000. ∆ The team with the least amount of time and the most accumulated point wins the game.

Discussion: • How does this activity promote communication? – I think … – This activity … – Students will …

Productive Beliefs(PtoA) • “Students who are not fluent in English can learn the language of mathematics at grade level or beyond at the same time that they are learning English when appropriate instructional strategies are used .” Ken Ken

Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Use and Connect Mathematical Representations “Because of the abstract nature of mathematics, people have access to mathematical ideas only through the representations of those ideas. ”

Productive Beliefs(PtoA) • “Equity -ensuring that all students have access to high-quality curriculum, instruction, and the supports to ensure that all students are mathematically successful .”

Tips for making content equitable and accessible • Collaborate with your Sped Teacher and specialist – “How do I make this activity accessible … “ • Use educational technology – Educational technology can facilitate simple computation and the visualization of mathematics situations and relationships, allowing students to better comprehend mathematical concepts in practice.
