Math Forum Exhibit Hall Handouts from NCSM and NCTM
http://mathforum.org/workshops/nctm2009/handouts.html
Did you miss us in the Sponsor Display area at NCSM or
the Exhibit Hall at NCTM? Maybe you did find us but you would
like additional copies of our handouts? Feel free to access
the printed matter (in PDF format) distributed recently at our
booths, including information on our Professional Development
program and samples from our Problems of the Week program.

Some of the folks joining us in the
display area or booth, or presenting with us, were not actually
Math Forum staff. These are collaborators from around the US
and Canada who have been working closely with us in our online
workshops, onsite professional development, and online
professional development courses. A big thank-you to you all!

Facing the Future is pleased to announce the release of Real
World Math: Engaging Students through Global Issues. This
two-part math resource engages students in learning algebra and
geometry through real-world data on global issues. The
teacher's guide and corresponding student workbook contain 15
lessons on topics such as climate change, population, and
financial literacy.
All lessons were inspired, researched, designed, reviewed, and
pilot tested by educators in the field. Built into each lesson
are:
- Real-world data
- Contextual math problems
- Step-by-step instructions
- NCTM standards alignment
- Activity-based lesson 'hooks' that grab students' interest
- Critical thinking
- Collaboration
- Bonus and extension problems
- Action project ideas
- Additional resources
The corresponding Real World Math student workbook includes
lesson handouts, supplemental worksheets, and topical
background readings that directly connect with the lessons in
the teacher's guide.
