can meet the diverse academic needs of our students. Participants will
learn how to differentiate math instruction with easy and effective
strategies applicable to every math class.
Dr. Jennifer Taylor-Cox is an enthusiastic, captivating presenter. Her
keynote
speeches, workshops and presentations are always high-energy and insightful.
Jennifer earned her PhD from the University of Maryland. She is the
author of many professional articles and books including Family Math
Night, Math Standards in Action, Math Intervention: Building Number
Power (Grades K–2 and 3–5)and Differentiating in Number
and Operations K–2, and Differentiating in Geometry to name a
few.
Audience: Early Years Grades K–4

Asking the Right Questions to Build Middle School Math Success
Marian Small
 A
successful middle school math program has to focus on the big ideas
in math and has to meet a broad range of student needs, recognizing
that not all students are at the same place. The use of open questions
and parallel tasks will be the focus for differentiating instruction.
The development of lesson goals and consolidating questions based on
“filtering” curriculum outcomes through big ideas will be
the focus for ensuring that mathematics lessons concentrate on the math
that really matters.
Dr. Marian Small is the former Dean of Education at the University of
New Brunswick. She has been a professor of mathematics education for
many years and is a regular speaker on K–12 mathematics throughout
Canada and the US. She has been an author of seven text series at both
elementary and secondary levels in Canada, the US, Australia, and Bhutan.
She has served on the author team for the National Council of Teachers
of Mathematics Navigation series, PreK–2, for four years, as the
NCTM representative on the Mathcounts question writing committee for
middle school mathematics competitions throughout the US, and was also
a member of the editorial panel for the NCTM 2011 yearbook on motivation
and disposition. She has written a resource for both university pre-service
teachers and practicing teachers: Making Math Meaningful to Canadian
Students: K–8 as well as the professional resources, Big Ideas
from Dr. Small: Grades 4-8, published by Nelson Education Ltd., and
Good Questions: A Great Way to Differentiate Math Instruction K-8 and
More Good Questions: A Great Way to Differentiate Secondary Math Instruction,
jointly published by Teachers College Press, NCTM and Nelson Canada.
She has also developed materials and provided consultation focused on
working with struggling learners, differentiating instruction, and on
teacher questioning in mathematics classrooms throughout Canada.
Audience: Middle Years Grades 5–8

HS300 Developing
Thinking Skills in Math
Trevor Brown
What are rich learning tasks and how can they
be used to deepen our students’ conceptual understanding of mathematics?
In this session we will have an opportunity to look at some rich tasks
that have been developed to engage our students and deepen their conceptual
understanding of the subject. Trevor’s dynamic presentation style
combined with his thought provoking ideas make for an effective and
entertaining workshop.
Trevor Brown is a former Mathematics Consultant for the Toronto District
School Board. He has served as the Course Director in Mathematics Education
at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and York University.
Currently Mr. Brown is an Associate Professor at Tyndale University
College. Trevor has been a contributing author for Pearson’s “Math
Makes Sense” (Grade 9).
