Ok, we admit that there will be a few Mathematics Nerds at the NCTM this year. But there will also be a plethoria of elementary school teachers who have never felt super comfortable with Math but want to make it accessible and fun for kids. In fact the majority of the break out sessions at this conference are full of creative ways to make numbers come alive.
NCTM is considered the Premier Math convention for teachers. Hear the latest on Common Core Standards; learn about Interactive Whiteboards; Get the update on intervention; or hear about connecting math to literature, music, and history from leading experts. Whether you’re a classroom teacher, administrator, or preservice teacher, you’ll find the topic of your interest and plenty of choices for your grade level at the NCTM. Hey and there is nothing wrong with the occasional Math Nerd. Just ask Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting.
