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.

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?

Do you ever get tired of having to adapt university textbooks for use in your high school Calculus classes? We did, so we created our own, and now you can benefit from our experience! We partnered with a BC publisher to create worktexts for the BC Calculus 12 and AP Calculus AB & BC curricula. Please join lead author, Dr. Bruce McAskill, as he takes you through the author’s journey of developing these worktexts. The workshop will focus on how the worktext aligns with the different curricula and at the features of the online teacher guides, quizzes, and solutions.

"Gone are the days when teachers would end their school day with a collegial chat, game of crib, or a refreshing beverage to unwind before heading home. Responsibilities continue to increase and affects time spent preparing for lessons.

Having a resource that fits the curriculum and enables a teacher to focus on teaching students rather than scrambling for resources is vital. Absolute Value Publications workbooks more than fill this void.

In this session we discuss strategies the AVP workbooks may be used he classroom. Participants will receive one complimentary copy of one of the five AVP BC Edition titles as long as supplies last."
