I attended the MASA 2019 mathematics teacher conference, and co-presented a workshop on SQWIGLES with David Butler, Jono Hage, and Jono Pantelis.

SQWIGLES

Me, presenting SQWIGLES

I also attended several other sessions, and I include some highlight and useful resources here:

I attended two of John Rowe’s presentations, in the first he spoke about his book “Hook Line Sinker”, which I hadn’t heard about before and seems like an excellent resource. In his second presentation he spoke about Desmos and running classes using it, and refered to his website, where his book is available but also alot of other useful resources.
I also attended Amie Albrecht’s presentation in which she spoke about the course she runs for teaching mathematics through problem solving for pre-service teachers, and the importance of struggle, recognising and showing incomplete work and general strategies. She refered to a couple of good books on the topic I should look up at some point.
On Day 2 Mike Clapper presented a plenary on competition mathematics problem solving contained some nice problems.
I also attended two of David Butlers other presentations, and his “The goal is not the goal, the end is not the end” really resonated with me, his prezi on the topic is here. In his second presentation, on problem solving, I found the list of “It is always ok too” rules a very nice summary of some things I have wanted to say so I include John Rowe’s tweet on the topic for later reference.
