2024 Northwest Mathematics Conference

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!

Are you searching for ideas to create engaging magical math moments that encourage your diverse students? If so, join us for three hands-on, play-based, and standards-aligned activities that will ignite participation in an inclusive classroom setting. The purpose of this session is to promote the development of teachers' content knowledge by engaging in professional discussions and collaborative activities focused on the teaching of mathematics. Participants will gain a better understanding of how to promote and implement open-ended problem-solving as a way of learning and practicing mathematics with low-floor/high-ceiling.

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!

Come ready to participate in a variety of whole group games that cover the concepts of probability, place value, basic computation, problem solving strategies and much more. Leave with resources you can immediately use in your classroom. All materials are easy to find and will be in most classrooms already. These games are classroom tested and you and your students will love them as much as we do. 

This workshop will review and explore a locally-developed framework that supports holistic instruction through hands-on opportunities for teachers and students to build deeper meaning in relation to place. 
By thoughtfully designing mathematical approaches and provocations that heighten awareness of the relationships we have with the land, educators can expand on the quantitative computational activities and relationships that the natural world has to offer. 
The creation of this framework was made possible by a BCAMT grant that was awarded in the 2022-23 school year.
