Numbers Matter – Host Numerical Reasoning Workshops

“I find that MEC approaches support students as they find several ways to solve problems and share with classmates. They are learning from each other. Not only are the lower students learning from the higher, but high students are also learning from students previously less successful with math.”  - 5th Grade Teacher


“Learning 21st Century mathematics in a MEC classroom setting has inspired me to recognized and appreciate mathematics relationships in the real world, ask “why” and “how” questions and have confidence in my own ability to solve problems. I have greater appreciation for the power and beauty of mathematics.”  - Elementary Teacher


“MEC courses have made me excited about mathematics and sharing strategies and methods with my students. Students’ understanding of the fifth grade curriculum is rapidly increasing!”  - 5th Grade Teacher

Community Math Nights

MEC Math Nights build capacity of educators and community members to learn, plan, collaborate and take action toward transforming practices and student learning in mathematics classrooms.

Community Math Nights are for parents, teachers, administrators, business and community leaders, university faculty, members of the press and the public-at-large.  These semi-annual evening sessions actively engage participants as learners - developing common understandings of innovative instructional practices that support student learning in today’s classroom. Math Night sessions generate informed, independent decision-making and parent knowledge of how to help their child with math. These sessions also build support for teachers and students as current practices in mathematics classrooms are being advanced.
