Idaho Annual STEM Conference: The Magic of STEM 2026
Thursday July 30, 2026 2:15pm - 3:15pm MDT
This interactive session focuses on deepening students’ mathematical justification in high school math classrooms. Participants will engage in doing mathematics together, then analyze their own reasoning through the lens of a justification rubric. Using sample student work, we will explore what strong justification looks like, identify common gaps, and consider how to move student thinking forward. The session emphasizes practical tools and strategies teachers can use to elevate the level of explanation, reasoning, and evidence in their classrooms. By the end, participants will leave with a clearer vision of high-quality mathematical justification and resources to support students in constructing and communicating meaningful arguments.
