In addition to Dan Meyer and Peg Smith, there will also be sessions presented by:
 Mike Patterson, award winning teacher and creator of
www.geometrycommoncore.com
 Representatives from SED, discussing Common Core implementation,
assessments, and answering questions.
The Vice-President of AMTNYS, Brian Cohen, and his team of conference chairs
have done a great job putting together this conference. I am confident that you
will be impressed by the variety of sessions and workshops being offered. Make
sure you check out the TI Regional Social, where Texas Instruments, Inc. provides
fun for all; with music, prizes, desserts and more! I hope you enjoy all of the

Creating Statistical Thinkers Through Unanswerable Questions
Denis Sheeran
Edison Township Public Schools
The Common Core State Standards spell out the middle school statistical concepts we are to be teaching.
What has changed for students is that the standards no longer ask for students to calculate statistical values,
BYOD but instead to recognize relationships, understand variability and its effect, and make predictions based on
interpretation of statistical data. In short, statistics in the middle school should be based on Unanswerable
Questions. We will discuss the progression of the statistical standards in grades 6 – 8 and will connect the
statistical thinking in middle school to AP Statistics.

Bringing the CCLSM Progressions to Life
Denise Schultz & Maryanne Rossi
MP
Rochester City School District
Since the CCSSM were built on progressions, it’s only logical for math educators to find the time to read and
unpack them. The progressions, as narrative documents themselves, can be cumbersome and overwhelming
for teachers to digest. This workshop is designed to bring two progressions to life: Fractions, Grades 3-5 and
Ratios & Proportional Relationships, Grades 6-7. Participants will engage in a series of math activities
purposely sequenced to see and feel the vertical alignments of the math standards in these two domains.

Beyond Relevance & Real World: Stronger Strategies for Student Engagement
Dan Meyer
Highlighting relevance and connections to the real world are often seen as the most
effective strategies for engaging students in difficult mathematics, but both strategies are
limited and can fail in crucial ways. We'll add strategies to our repertoire, looking at
research-based methods for “developing a question” instead.
Dan proposes that today’s math curriculum is teaching students to expect and excel at –
paint-by-numbers classwork, robbing students of a skill more important than solving
problems: formulating them. You can view classroom-tested math at:
http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_meyer_math_curriculum_makeover
His passion for teaching shines bright. Dan’s proposal for a new way to teach math, presented as part of
TEDxNYED, has had nearly 1,000,000 views on YouTube and has been reposted on many education sites. His
specific interests include building ideal learning experiences for students through currriculum design and
answering questions about teacher education, such as, how they learn and how to best teach them to teach.

Enlarging Our Understanding of Similarity Through Dilation
Mike Patterson
CC
We will investigate similarity and related topics through the lens of transformations. Adding dilation to the
rigid motions we get the similarity transformations which allow us to investigate many more concepts.
Through a transformational approach we will investigate similarity, trigonometry and proof using this new
transformational approach.

More Favorite Curves
Joseph Straight
SUNY Fredonia
Heard of the folium of Descartes? What about the involute of a circle, or Viviani's curve? Not only do these
curves have cool names, but their study can enhance any precalculus or calculus course. Come to the talk,
and learn more!

The Marvelous Story of the Number Two
Jim Carpenter
CC
152.
Iona College
The number two serves as a starting point for many of the greatest ideas in mathematics. It plays a key role in
arithmetic, number theory, algebra, and even geometry. It gets us started in counting, and it is the least
prime. Indeed, 2 + 2 = 2 * 2 = 2². It is the base of binary arithmetic. Two gives the first non-trivial reciprocal
which leads to the rational numbers. The square root of 2 leads to the study of irrational numbers. The cubed
root cannot be constructed. There is so much more to learn about two.

A Tool Chest for Revealing Misunderstandings
Erin Wheeler
Mod
153.
Ripley CSD & Great Minds
As teachers, we constantly study our students to understand what they know and what they still need to
learn. If we see the arrow way, place value disks, and the standard algorithm as varied solution paths, we
miss the opportunity to sift out misconceptions that can easily stay hidden. In this session, we will focus on
examples from the Second Grade modules. Come learn how wrong answers can help us readjust and get our
students on the right track for building a deep understanding of addition and subtraction.

Legos! Legos! Legos!
Saturday
Brianne Tugaw
Cazenovia Central School
Using manipulatives in mathematics education is imperative to build understanding and form connections.
Using Legos in the classroom connects to students' interests and motivates them to "play" while they learn!
In this workshop, participants will use Legos and develop ways they can use them in their classroom setting.
This workshop incorporates strategies and uses in the general education classroom as well environments
where needs of students in interventions is priority.

Back(channel) to the Future
Amanda Pacanowski
BYOD
Fredonia School District
Do you let your students pass notes in class? I do. It's called the Backchannel. In this presentation I'll be
sharing the concept of a backchannel discussion. I'll be talking about creating a backchannel in your
classroom, tools you can use to set up a backchannel and why I do it.

Trying to find better ways to implement the Mathematical Practices? This session will show the benefits and
downsides of teaching using student-centered instruction versus teacher-centered instruction. In this
workshop, a study conducted in two middle school classrooms will help determine how students learn best.

Puzzles, Machines and Other Methods to Disguise Learning Mathematics
David Dye
McQuaid Jesuit
Have you found yourself trying to find a 2-3 minute brain teaser or maybe a longer 1-3 month project or even
something in between? This session will look at a variety of Math based examples, problems and projects
that I have found to be well received by students in my classroom. Applications can be found in Algebra,
Geometry, Trigonometry, Statistics and AP Statistics.
