Check out this poster created by Alison Boehme, a Grade 5 teacher at Cootes Paradise Elementary. This poster describes the project Alison and her colleagues from HWDSB are doing with support from our Mathematics Leadership CoP. The collaborative inquiry team will continue with their work in the 2017/18 school year.

On June 27-29, 2017, our Indigenous Knowledge & Mathematics Education Community of Practice met at Trent University to discuss goals, plans, and hopes for the CoP going forward.
After two days of rich conversation and sharing, members reflected on the following:
See their reflections below (click to enlarge).
What does knowledge mobilization look like, sound like, feel like in the context of this CoP?
This was the question that the IK CoP hopes to answer by the end of August 2018. To work toward answering this question, they set the following goals:
The IK CoP is holding a Math Culture Camp mid-August to further develop their plans for this coming year and beyond.

The Northeastern Ontario Mathematics Leadership Network (MLN), one of the partners in our Mathematics Leadership CoP, recently concluded #NotABookStudy, a 9-week open learning opportunity guided by Dr. Cathy Fosnot to explore key math ideas and resources.
Educators listened to the live or recorded radio show with Dr. Cathy Fosnot, communicated over Twitter and Facebook, contributed to blogs, read the book: Young Mathematicians at Work: Constructing Multiplication and Division, read the newsletter, and much more.
If you participated in this open learning opportunity, please help the MLN and other Math Leadership CoP member organizations continue creating open, accessible learning opportunities by completing their Exit Survey by June 26, 2017.
Those inspired by their #NotABookStudy experience are invited to share their next educator moves through the digital storytelling tool FLIPGRID.
Whether or not you participated, you can check out their website to see all podcasts with Dr. Cathy Fosnot, and all other resources created during #NotABookStudy.
To learn how the MLN is connected to the work of the MKN, see our Mathematics Leadership CoP page.
