ATMNE NH 2024

The Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications (comap.org) is an education nonprofit with over 40 years experience supporting teachers with a focus on increasing student proficiency in mathematical modeling. In addition to introducing attendees to the extensive suite of free materials available to teachers and describing our modeling competitions for middle and high school students, attendees will experience mathematical modeling first-hand with some math activities based in the real-world. Let's answer the perennial student question, "When am I ever gonna use this?"

Instead of serving up a Geometry sandwich, can we instead do more for more kids by providing individualized, relevant pathways that help students develop the math skills and mindsets they need for their 21st century careers, lives, and citizenship? Join us to learn how White Mountains Regional High School is redesigning math to foster student agency, increase success for all, and elevate the role of statistics and spreadsheets while preserving an elective path to advanced math.

This session will explore the innovative uses of technology in Algebra Two and Precalculus classes. With the integration of cutting-edge STEM tools, we can empower students to explore mathematical concepts in a dynamic and interactive way, making abstract algebra and precalculus principles more accessible and engaging. This session will delve into practical applications, demonstrate hands-on activities, and showcase how technology can enhance the teaching and learning experience, ultimately equipping students with the skills they need to excel in these critical math courses. Join me in exploring the potential of these strategies to enhance algebra and precalculus education.
