Dr. Daniel Jarvis of the Schulich School of Education is part of Ontario’s Math Knowledge Network, serving within the Critical Transitions Community of Practice team (the others being Mathematics Leadership, Indigenous Knowledge, and Computational Thinking). His work specifically focuses on the transition of the mathematics learner between Grade 8 and Grade 9. On March 20th, participants representing the Ministry of Education, university and college faculty, board level math coordinators, and math teachers gathered at the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences in Toronto to take part in a full-day workshop hosted by Dr. Jarvis and entitled Crossing the Divide: Exploring Critical Transition Issues from Grade 8 to 9 Mathematics. Guest speakers addressed critical transition issues/challenges, shared effective board transition strategies, demonstrated provincial technology supports, and highlighted a new online resource for students and their parents/guardians. The event allowed time for small group discussions and hands-on problem-solving activities. Valuable input was also gathered from participants which will be used to direct future MKN work to be done in this area. FieldsLive archives (videos/presentation slides) available here.
