CAMT (Conference for the Advancement of Mathematics Teaching) Event

A project that I'm really excited about is the CAMT (Conference for the Advancement of Mathematics Teaching) that I am doing with Beatrice Moore, a top-notch BER math presenter, the owner of her own company, and author not only of BER books but of a fictional trilogy (Shoe Fetish) that should be on everyone's summer read list. Both Bea and I believe in the integration of disciplines through writing. For instance, one math objective on the agenda is to "identify the transferable skills from ELAR that would allow a student to successfully complete a mathematics task." Bea explained that she wants me to do the ELA aspect of several of the areas she will be presenting—comparing and contrasting the structure and viewpoints of two different authors writing for the same purpose as well as the skill set necessary in recognizing faulty logic. This will all take place in Fort Worth.
