Meet the CT Newly-Required HS Finance Course with a Full-Year Math Credit FILLING
Monday March 24, 2025 9:30am - 10:30am EDT
Advanced Algebra with Financial Applications is an alternative course for struggling students who need to take 3-4 years of math to graduate, and for whom Algebra 2 is a daunting task. Additionally, future CT high school graduates will be required to take a finance course, and this course can meet the standards for that course. Consequently. all math students can take it as an elective--it meets the needs of every single student.

Connecting Algebra, Geometry, Discrete Mathematics, and Calculus with Some Popular Summation Formulas
Monday March 24, 2025 12:40pm - 1:40pm EDT
Did you ever wonder where the formulas for the sum of the first n counting integers, the sum of the first n odd counting integers, the sum of the first n squares and the sum of the first n cubes originated from? You are in luck; for this presentation will link algebra, geometry, discrete mathematics, calculus, history, and technology in one tidy package and view the connections among the disciplines with these rich summation formulas. The work presented here is amenable to a wide variety of grade bands ranging from middle school through university mathematics. Join us as we pursue this delightful journey.

Diving Deep into Mathematical Understanding: STEM Curriculum Design
Monday March 24, 2025 1:50pm - 2:50pm EDT
Join us as we take you through our journey from teaching discrete math learning targets to the development of an integrated STEM curriculum that gives students a more local and global context for math. Participants will have time to take steps to explore their own curriculums and get started on brainstorming the systems and processes it would take to pilot an integrated curriculum at your school.

Creating Access to Rigorous Mathematics for Emerging Multilingual Learners FILLING
Monday March 24, 2025 3:00pm - 4:00pm EDT
Multilingual learners are a classroom asset! Learners thrive when they engage in meaningful, relevant, and accessible mathematics in a safe environment. This session will provide an opportunity to examine beliefs about multilingual learners and engage in a collaborative math task as a multilingual learner in an asset-based environment. Participants will discuss action items within their sphere of influence that promote the success of multilingual learners.
