Coming to Asilomar December 4-6 for the California Mathematics Council's northern meeting? Suzanne Alejandre, Math Forum Director of Professional Development, will present a session on Saturday:

The Math Forum @ Drexel: Learning Math Together
Learn about and discuss activities designed to help students develop and deepen their use of mathematical problem-solving and communication. Help students connect to their own way of thinking, build their ideas and experiences, and develop confidence in problem-solving. Become familiar with our activities including, Forget the Question, Try It, In Your Own Words, and PoW IQ, that each can be used with any curriculum to help students approach problem solving from a wide variety of angles!

Session 262
9:30 - 10:30 Saturday
Pacific Grove High School, Room B3
