This interactive session will engage learners in exploring and describing their mathematical identities. In small groups, participants will create their own math identity graphs using a graph, picture, or words to model their mathematical identity over time. Participants will engage in conversations investigating the connections between the ways in which we teach math and our own math identities. We will discuss fixed mindsets vs growth mindsets in the math classroom and the connection to math identity. Participants will leave the session with resources and ideas of how to support multilingual students in developing positive identities as mathematicians.
