Math Forum Exhibit Hall Handouts from NCSM and NCTM
http://mathforum.org/workshops/nctm2010/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.
Math Forum Ambassadors
http://mathforum.org/workshops/nctm2010/ambassadors.html
Some of the folks joining us in the display area or booth, or
presenting with us, were not actually Math Forum or KenKen
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!
Free Mentoring Opportunities
http://mathforum.org/pow/free_mentoring.html
A group of preservice teachers from Western Oregon University
will provide feedback to submitters in the following problems:
- FunPow, opening May 3
- PreAlgPoW, opening May 10
Please have your students submit solutions. If they receive
replies from a mentor, we hope you'll encourage them to
revise. Not only will your students learn more, but the
mentors will learn as well!
Trial Class Account
