Teaching With A Full Deck: Card Activities In Mathematics, Lindsey Herlehy
Professional Learning Day
Card sorts encourage students to do what we value most: talk and reason. Beyond simple matching, card sorts allow students to classify, rank, sequence, and map out ideas, creating a natural context for critical thinking and discussion. Join me for a series of math-focused card sorts where students will engage in activities like sorting equations by type, sequencing steps for solving multi-step problems, analyzing characteristics of graphs, and collaborating to solve clothesline math problems. This easy-to-prep tool will help students deepen their understanding of math concepts, fostering algebraic reasoning, graph analysis, and collaborative problem-solving skills.
(Virtual) Radians: Units Are Important And Why The Unit Circle Is Not, Matthew Mccutcheon
(Virtual) Radians: Units Are Important And Why The Unit Circle Is Not, Matthew Mccutcheon
Professional Learning Day
Have you ever wondered why we have radians as a unit of measure for angles? Aren't degrees good enough? I like them. After all, a right angle is a nice, round 90degrees – so why complicate things? While degrees are useful, radians bring a unique significance. Units matter, even in the world of mathematics!

Understanding The European Union: Why You Don’T Teach It But Should, Dr. Lee Eysturlid
Professional Learning Day
Border crisis, currency crisis, populism, culture wars, real war? No, that is the European Union (EU). This session will introduce the basic history and functional elements of the EU's intent, structure, and function (dysfunction?). Based on work and travel with the Center for EU Studies, attendees will get everything they need to teach the topic.
Getting Students To Do Authentic Academic Research, Dr. Peter Dong
Getting Students To Do Authentic Academic Research, Dr. Peter Dong
Professional Learning Day
Most classroom experiences bear little resemblance to actual research, and aspiring scientists and other researchers have no exposure to authentic academic work, in many cases, until graduate school. Giving high school students genuine research experience is possible and helpful for their understanding. This session will share lessons learned from IMSA's research programs and discuss ways, both big and small, that teachers and their schools can get students involved in real research.
