Improving Student Discourse Through Debate in the Math Classroom
About This Webinar
In the Standards of Mathematical Practice, Math Practice 3 states that students should be able to “Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others”. However, to do so requires a lot of modeling, structure, and practice. Debates can be a great vehicle to achieve these goals in a manner that gives all students a voice and an opportunity to develop and communicate their ideas and hear the ideas of their peers. Learn about how a variety of informal and formal debate formats can be used on a daily basis to get every one of your students speaking with greater frequency and more confidence.

Host Coordinator
I am a mother, wife and high school math teacher. I currently teach at Moravian Academy in Bethlehem, PA and my favorite class to teach is AP Statistics! This is my 25th year of teaching. @mathteacher24 is my twitter handle and this year I am doing a Teach180 blog at mathteacher24.blogspot.com. I have several tech related videos for stat and TI-NSpire at www.youtube.com/mathteacher24 and I also enjoy singing, reading and doing crazy workouts from Beachbody (P90X/Insanity/TurboFire).
Mathematics Instructor
Ethan Weker teaches Algebra, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus at Mid-Peninsula High School in Menlo Park, CA. He has taught secondary mathematics since 2001, and much of his career has focused on students who learn differently. He speaks at state and national conferences about how to increase and improve student discourse in the math classroom. Ethan strives to make math accessible to all students, and uses debate structures as means for helping students to get involved in passionate discussions about mathematical ideas.

Hosted By
The Global Math Department began as a group of teachers who knew each other through Twitter, math education blogs and Twitter Math Camp. Since 2012 The Global Math Department community has grown into a multi-faceted group of math educators who love to share their ideas related to teaching and learning mathematics. We recognize that as educators we are charged with promoting equity and access within mathematics instruction. In addition, we believe it is crucial that teachers be provided with quality resources and ideas that they can use immediately with their students. Lively and friendly conversations in our weekly webinars encourage all participants to share and continue to grow as educators.
