Peeling Back the Layers of Thin-Slicing for K-5
Monday June 30, 2025 11:00am - 12:00pm PDT
Thin-Sliced lessons are the meat and potatoes of getting through a lot of curricular objectives. But where can we find them? In this session aimed at early and middle grades, we’ll design a sequence of tasks from scratch to take students from where they are to where you want them to go. Along the way, we’ll also create associated meaningful notes. Come join us as we hone our thin-slicing skills.

Do, Say, Think, Feel: Pulling the Curtain Back On Our Very Best Practical Moves
Monday June 30, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm PDT
What do mathematicians do? What do they say? What do they think? What do they feel? These are impactful questions to ask any young mathematician, but this session will spotlight these questions with a major plot twist. What do elementary thinking classroom teachers do, say, think, and feel? Participants will ask these questions of themselves and access each other’s expertise in a great exchange of practical moves that can be easily incorporated into any elementary thinking classroom. As Peter Liljedahl has been known to say, “The smartest person in the room is the room.” Whether your thinking classroom is fairly new or well established, this is a room you’ll want to be in. Come join us as we pull the curtain back on our very best moves.
