This session, led by Senior STEM Product Specialist Cassondra Kauppi, explores how technology can be paired with Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC) principles in the math classroom. Through intentional design, technology is used as a bridge for connection, communication, and collective sense-making in the mathematics classroom. Rather than positioning technology as a replacement for interaction, this session centers technology as a way to amplify student voice, connect multiple representations, and make thinking visible. Students are able to see, compare, and build on one another’s ideas, strengthening both their understanding and their sense of belonging in mathematics. Educators will leave with ready-to-use tasks that help transform technology from a potential distraction into a driver of community, reasoning, and deep mathematical learning.
