This year's Math in Action conference is scheduled for 8AM to 3PM on Thursday February 23, 2006 at the downtown (Grand Rapids) Pew Campus in the Eberhard Center. The theme for this year's conference is "Making Connections" as we are seeking to build strong and productive connections across our community of mathematics educators in west Michigan.
A variety of presentation options are available. One may request a single session or a sequence of sessions. Sequential sessions may be presented by the same individuals or by different individuals for each session. Sequences of two sessions (or possibly more) allow for more in depth explorations and discussions for the participants. It is also possible for the same presentation to be delivered more than once, if the speaker(s) desire.
There are multiple ways in which you can use your presentation ideas to address the conference theme. As you reflect about what you might offer to present at Math-In-Action, please consider some of your own best practices or ideas you would like to explore or share. Also consider that teachers appreciate coming away with usable ideas, ideas they can use in their own classrooms. Participants also appreciate being actively involved during their sessions.
To submit a proposal for a presentation at Math in Action, please complete the Speaker Proposal Form, which is available for download, and send it to the organizers as directed at the bottom of the form. Note that the deadline for doing so is Friday, November 5, 2005.
If you have any other questions or comments, please contact one of the co-organizers of Math in Action.
