Session 1- Introductions, Inquiry Slam and Round Table Discussion
In this first session we look at a variety of activities that serve to promote problem solving, critical thinking, application of math in the real world, technology integration and global perspective. These tasks can be used in multiple areas of the mathematics program in secondary, can be incorporated into curricular frameworks such as IB, IGCSE. The activity will be followed by a round table discussion to address topics specific to our working graoup including, but not limited to best practice, differentiation, ATL’s, specific program items, resource sharing, the new EE protocols and ways to promote collaboration among the Working Group Members.

Session 2 – Promoting Inquiry in the Mathematics Classroom
In this session we will look at activities that invite students to explore mathematical content in multiple perspectives and apply to real world contexts. This is relevant to teachers of MYP, IGCSE and equivalent, as well as IBDP programs.

Session 3 – Technology Integration and/or Mathematics Competitions
In this session participants have the choice of engaging with real world tasks solved through the use of dynamic software (GeoGebra/Desmos, GDC, Sheets) or with math competition problems that link multiple areas of math content. These tasks can be used with students in the secondary to promote problem solving, resilience and inquiry.
