It was another fulfilling learning experience at this year's CMC math conference in Palm Springs. On Friday morning, I attended two AP Stats sessions by Starnes. While the first session involved much pure math at a high level, the second session provide me with more inference activities that I may use for my stats class. I picked up many freebies at the lunch meeting for AP Stats teachers. After lunch, I attended an engaging TI-Nspire session by Reardon. The last session was by Cheng, who provided many ideas on re-booting our instructions to meet the new testing challenges. As usual, my brian was fried by the evening. To clear my mind, I ran 5 miles up and down the Palm Springs downtown.
On Sunday morning, I attended an Algebra session on using myths and fables to engage students. Presenters Wolf and Maggiore provided scenarios more student participation. The second session was an TI-Nspire activity by Godbold for AP Statistics. Lastly, I attending Lim's math in TV and movies session. It was a more relaxing way to end my attendance at this year's CMC conference. As always, I strive to bring back what I can to benefit my students.
PS - 100% of the cost of this trip came out of my own expense. I took a personal day off to attend Friday's sessions.
