IN FACT, IT’S ALL ABOUT DATATim Erickson, Teacher, Lick-Wilmerding HS
Data is the bridge that connects mathematics to reality. It makes mathematics relevant. We’ll explore rich contexts that range from serious to silly and find the mathematics in the data that arise. Throughout this process, we’ll use technological tools to help; tools make it possible for us to play with the data and look at it in many different ways.

LANGUAGE(S) AND LEARNING MATHEMATICSJudit Moschkovich, Associate Professor, Univ of California, Santa Cruz
Drawing on research literature and classroom data, I address questions about language(s) and learning mathematics relevant to classroom practice, in particular for bilingual students or English learners, such as: What are language practices in mathematics classrooms among bilingual students or English learners? What are mathematical discourse practices? What resources do bilingual learners use to communicate mathematically? How can instruction build on these resources?

HARMONIOUS EQUATIONSKeith Devlin, Professor, Stanford University
NPR’s Math Guy Keith Devlin joins with choral ensemble Zambra, mathdance artiste Karl Schaffer, and math-music composer Jonathan Middleton in this celebration of some of the most famous equations in mathematics. Besides providing an enjoyable interlude in the conference, the use of music, song, and dance to interpret mathematics has huge potential in raising mathematics awareness in students who view themselves as “non-math types.”
