Participants will collaboratively analyze student work, discuss common misconceptions, and consider instructional resources that move learning forward. Through professional dialogue and shared reflection, educators will deepen their ability to interpret student reasoning and identify meaningful next steps for instruction. Participants will leave with practical strategies for gathering and using evidence of student thinking to inform Tier 1 mathematics instruction.

AI Resistant Tasks for Thinking and Learning
2026-10-27 16:00 - 17:30
If students are getting the answers from ChatGPT, then it’s time to ask different questions! Teachers can raise the bar by asking students to reflect on their learning, make personal connections, and tap their creativity in ways that make it harder to bypass original thinking. Even better, these tasks are engaging enough to lessen the temptation to seek shortcuts in the first place! Participants will leave with ideas for tasks and prompts, as well as ways to anchor assignments to contexts that belong to students, not LLMs.
