Current Trends in Mathematics Education at TCUs

The missions and values of tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) reflect the roles that TCUs play in empowering educational sovereignty. In the contexts of mathematics education, TCUs have been innovative in providing mathematical educational learning experiences that draw on the brilliance of Indigenous peoples. However, these success stories are not reflected in the research literature. Furthermore, there has been a need for mathematics educators at TCUs to build community and work towards a collective future of mathematics at TCUs. This session will provide a summary of current trends in mathematics education at TCUs in the form of a literature review, landscape analysis, and promising practices. Understanding these current trends provides a basis for envisioning the role that TCUs can play in reshaping the future of mathematics education for Indigenous communities.

Empowering Adult Numeracy and Digital Literacy Educators to Create Broad, Learning Mindset-Supportive Environments

For many adult learners, mathematics poses challenges to their conceptions of themselves as math learners that call for innovative and responsive instruction. This session focuses on strategies for creating broad environments that support positive learning mindsets in mathematics. Drawing from the PD program of Adult Numeracy in the Digital Era, a project developing a technology-enabled mathematics course, participants experience and reflect on research-based routines designed to foster collaboration and authentic discourse and promote learning mindsets.

Enhancing Mathematical Understanding: The Carnegie Math Pathways Problem Cycle Approach

The learning opportunities that are a part of the Carnegie Math Pathways curriculum design principles were developed based on research on mathematics teaching and learning that suggests that three kinds of learning experiences are important for deep learning: productive struggle, explicit connections, and deliberate practice. Carnegie Math Pathways instructional materials were developed with the intent of incorporating each of these types of learning opportunities. The Problem Cycle Approach describes a learning and instructional routine with four phases that faculty can adopt and use strategically in a way that supports group work and whole class discussion that leads to deeper student learning and understanding.

What Faculty Need in Digital Learning Technologies: Designing Courseware for Equitable Access, Engagement and Learning in Gateway Mathematics

Technology is changing mathematics teaching and learning – not always for the better. The design of more equitable, engaging, and effective mathematics digital learning technologies should center the experiences and perspectives of faculty and students. This session will share insights from faculty about what works, what doesn’t, and why from a national study of users of mathematics courseware, and invite attendees to share their own experiences and perspectives.

Cultivating a Culture of Change: Creating Environments for Successful Transformation in Higher Education

Mathematics pathways have proven to be promising approaches to address barriers for postsecondary students. Despite their effectiveness, these efforts face challenges as it pertains to their scale. We seek to examine how actors champion math pathways in their institutions. We examine leadership practices to understand how actors advocate for the scaling of math pathways. We identified two leadership practices that these actors engage in, and reveal how these leaders resource efforts to scale math pathways.
