By utilizing the navigation instruments as grading tools, they share how teachers can shift from a points-gathering paradigm towards a data-gathering paradigm and better reflect the achievement of learners in a Thinking Classroom. A large portion of this episode discusses questions addressed in the FAQ and builds on Maegan and Kyle’s classroom experience.” Sign up through this form: https://forms.gle/69Y6EmtCnAduoS35A A Zoom link will be sent the day before the meeting.

Go to Conference Website! BCAMT GRANTS Feeling inspired after attending the 63rd Northwest Mathematics Conference at Whistler? Maybe you have an idea for collaborating with some colleagues? Well then why not apply for a BCAMT Grant! The BCAMT provides grants to support collaborative teams of teachers seeking to extend their professional learning. We are offering up to $5,000 in total grant funds to be shared amongst our membership, which must be used to further mathematics education in BC. See the Grants webpage for more information about requirements and how to apply. The deadline for applications is Sunday, November 3. ILLUMINATE!

BCAMT LISTENS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2024, 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM Join hosts Jess Kyle, Kevin Dent, and Darcy House on February 22nd from 4:30 – 5:30 pm for BCAMT Listens event in conversation around the ideas shared by Vanessa Vakharia from the Math Therapy podcast “Mathers gonna math w/ Deborah Peart“. “You know how readers read and writers write? Well one day Deborah Peart decided that math should also be a verb, so she created the Mather movement. She and Vanessa discuss the difference between a “mather” and a “mathematician”, how numeracy and literacy are basically the same thing, and how bringing a mindfulness approach to her classrooms led to her being known by her students simply as “Peace Lady”. Shake up your glitter jar (yep, that’s a thing) and settle in for this hilarious and uplifting ep!” To register, please visit https://bcamt.ca/listens. A Zoom link will be sent the day before the meeting. BCAMT READS FALL 2023 **NEW DATE** WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2023 - 7:00PM Join hosts Sean Chorney and Susan Robinson for a virtual discussion of Anne Watson’s book, Raising Achievement in Secondary Mathematics. “Anne Watson presents a provocative perspective in her book and argues, for example, that simplifying mathematical questions for previously low achieving students runs counter to the learning of mathematics. She provides empirical evidence and strong argumentation of how mathematics can be taught more equitably and authentically and provides suggestions as to how to support previously low achieving students.” Sign up through this form: https://forms.gle/SYLZ21jZNsHyCv4f9 A Zoom link will be sent the day before the meeting. There are lots of secondhand copies of this book available online through Abebooks (if you want to avoid Amazon).
