Inspired by Dr. Amy Berry's work in Reimagining Student Engagement: From Disrupting to Driving, this presentation will introduce the Continuum, discuss why it's a valuable resource for schools, and provide practical guidance on implementing it in classrooms.

Providing multiple routes for demonstrating mathematical understanding—through varied representations and problem-solving approaches—students can experience an inclusive environment that cater to different needs and assets. This flexibility accelerates learning, allowing all students to express their mathematical competencies meaningfully.

This session is designed for educators and leaders dedicated to transforming mathematics instruction for multilingual students. As we prepare students for a rapidly changing world, it’s crucial to foster mathematical thinking and reasoning, particularly for those developing both language and math skills. Through innovative teaching practices that promote mathematical discourse, participants will explore strategies and reasoning routines that create supportive environments, empowering students to engage critically with mathematical concepts.
