Abstract
What tales would your students tell about their mathematical experiences? In this talk, I will share the Math Metaphor task and explore how students' responses can help us, as instructors, better understand their mathematical experiences with respect to emotions, agency, and identity. We will explore several examples, including our own, and discuss implications for supporting learners and building community in the classroom.
