We will discuss potential topics and speakers for the Seminar on Undergraduate Math Education (SUME) this semester. All those interested in attending SUME are welcome.
In this hands-on workshop we will do a mathematics activity leveraging the 5 practices for orchestrating productive mathematical discussions to debrief it. We will then examine each practice and have time for reflection about how you can incorporate these ideas in your classroom.

Clear communication is an essential skill for success in mathematics, yet many undergraduates enter college-level courses without experience in writing solutions that are both clear and well-structured. This talk will explore strategies instructors can use to help learners begin developing effective communication practices as early as the calculus sequence, not just in proof-based courses. We will discuss the role of short phrases in guiding the reader, the importance of balancing notation with words, and techniques for establishing a logical flow that allows solutions to stand on their own. I will highlight a communication activity I have used in a multivariable calculus course that scaffolds the development of these skills, recognizing that such expectations may be new to many students.
