2024 Northwest Mathematics Conference

What if you could help students see slope not as an equation to memorize, but as a representation of real events? Get out of your seats to model relationships between position and time using hands-on data collection. Learn some surprising things about teaching rate of change from algebra through calculus.

Discover a suite of adaptive and game-based systems to enhance your math lessons and solidify student success! These programs support conceptual understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts, and with comprehensive data reporting and additional teacher support materials, teachers can easily identify where and when intervention is required. Engage in research-based instructional methods that focus attention, encourage growth and provide a safe environment for all learners!

Come experiences how learning grounded in creativity & art can ignite engagement, interest, & passion in all students for coding and STEAM in math. We will model pedagogical approaches that are most appropriate for students and teachers new to coding. Code music on a Micro:bit? Create beautiful geometric designs with TI-Rover?

An increasing number of BC teachers are using MathUP, but it takes some getting used to.
This session will suggest a great way to start the new school year establishing a positive math culture in your classroom and getting both you and your students comfortable with this very rich resource. And, by the way, your first 20 math classes are already planned!
