Hi mathematics educators!

MTC4SJ is excited for today's workshop with Dr. Shelly Jones from CCSU on her new book (coming out next month) Engaging in Culturally Relevant Math Tasks. See below for the registration link and more information.

 11/15 Registration

Workshop Title: Supporting Students' Math Identities Through Designing Culturally Relevant Mathematics Tasks

Date/Time: Tuesday, November 15th, 6:30-8:00pm (EST) via Zoom

Presenter: Dr. Shelly Jones, Central Connecticut State University

Description: Join us for a talk by author Dr. Shelly Jones, co-author of the book, Engaging in Culturally Relevant Math Tasks: Fostering Hope in the Secondary Classroom with Drs. Lou Matthews and Yolanda Parker. The book - to be released next month - details multiple approaches for (re)designing tasks to be culturally responsive. Shelly will share one teacher’s experience with using the Revising a Task to Be Culturally Relevant Template to revise an existing task from her curriculum. We will use the template in breakout groups to revise a cognitively demanding math task, using a social justice standard!
