Welcome to the Sched site for the Northwest Mathematics Conference!

ALL WORKSHOPS ARE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED - signing up in Sched does not guarantee you a spot in a session. However, planning your day in Sched really helps us anticipate any potential need to make room changes.

If you create a free account, you can plan and edit your schedule. You may wish to select more than one session in a timeslot as a backup, in case your first choice of session is full.

On the right side of the schedule you can filter by grade band. This will include the sessions which span more than one grade band. You may also wish to view the Schedule as Expanded.

Bridging the Gap: Math for Social Justice 
Saturday October 26, 2024 8:30am - 9:45am PDT
Alpine D, Westin
Join us for a workshop where we share our students' experiences with a project that explores the gender and racial wage gaps using real data. The project combines social justice learning with mathematical analysis, allowing students to see themselves and their own identities in the data and critically examine the impacts of intersectionality. Through applying systems of linear equations, students model, interpret, and predict the future of wage equity in Canada. Targeted at the Foundations of Mathematics and Precalculus 10 curriculum, this project is adaptable for other grade levels.
