Sparking Rich Dialogue with Digital Provocations in Math

How can a simple image spark a mathematical discussion? How can a short video spark curiosity and wonder? How can we engage even our most reluctant learners into deep mathematical exploration with digital provocations? In this session we will build on the work of individuals like Dan Meyer and Kyle Pearce and explore how we can use digital provocations/invitations in our classroom. Participants will explore and share a variety of sources for good digital provocations, as well as create a digital provocation for the learning goal they are exploring in class.
