Comparing and contrasting is a strategy that helps our brains dive deeply into the content and language of a topic. It prepares us for higher-level analysis and improves our comprehension of the topic by drawing our attention to important details. Come learn how Project GLAD® takes the traditional Venn Diagram to a higher level of complexity and student engagement and can be a springboard to move content learning into high-level academic writing.

Working Problems from the Inside Out: Putting Students and Real-World Application at the Center
Ballroom C
Erin Mayer
AIM4S3™ Math Developer
Dual Language Education of New Mexico
Come experience how to take a practice assessment or text-book problem and turn the problem inside out so students are asking the questions and seeing the real-life application of the math. Participants will learn a powerful new strategy that 1) provides experiences for students to bring their math understanding to real situations, 2) gives many ways for students to be right in the math classroom, 3) builds positive disposition and adaptive reasoning in students, and 4) builds a high-ceiling, low-floor task so all students have an entry point. Instead of answering someone else's questions, students learn that math in the real world involves asking your own questions, applying what you know, and communicating your thinking to others.
