2023 MI-AMTE CAC/Math in Action Conferences
The 2023 MI-AMTE Conversations Among Colleagues (CAC) Conference will be held in conjunction with the Math in Action Conference on Saturday, February 25th at Grand Valley State University. Participants can attend these conferences in person or remotely. Due to these conferences occurring simultaneously, there will be overlapping programs and joint keynote sessions.
The Math in Action Conference will have energetic and informative discussions of current issues concerning mathematics education, also providing an opportunity for practicing PreK-12 teachers, prospective teachers, curriculum directors, and college and university faculty to share ideas, concerns, and resources.
The Conversations Among Colleagues Conference was designed in 2003-2004 to facilitate conversations between and among mathematicians, mathematics educators, and leaders in mathematics education in Michigan. Conversations Among Colleagues is the official conference of Michigan Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (MI-AMTE).
The conferences will consist of a choice of six hour-long sessions, with each session having multiple interactive presentations all related to mathematics. Several from the math ed group at Michigan State University will be attending the conferences, and the Connected Mathematics Project team will be presenting at the Conversation Among Colleagues Conference. Their presentation information at MI-AMTE CAC is listed below:
Saturday, February 25
1:20 pm – 2:20 pm, Session CAC-E2, Meeting Room D1-129
Evaluating Effective Use of Digital Tools for Teaching and Learning of Mathematics
When choosing technology for mathematics classrooms, best practices of technology use need to be considered. Participants will discuss the affordances and limitations of such technologies, including a teacher dashboard that allows teachers to access students' mathematical work and thinking.
Alden Edson, Ashley Fabry, Taren Going, and Sunyoung Park, Michigan State University
We hope you will be able to attend this Saturday, either in person or remotely.
