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

Mathematics Content Courses

MEC’s K-20 Mathematics Content Courses ensure that teachers are well prepared in mathematics, bridge the gap between K-12 and higher education, and model differentiated instruction to meet the range of learner needs found in today’s classrooms.

Nine-day Mathematics Content Courses are for elementary, middle school, high school and university level (K-20) teachers of mathematics. MEC summer mathematics content6 courses immerse teachers in an environment that fully models the in-depth mathematical content, instructional practices, including inquiry-based mathematics, and assessment strategies found in high-quality mathematics classrooms. The K-20 range of learners in each MEC course provides experience with and a model for differentiated instruction that meets a wide range of learner needs. The K-20 span also results in close working relationships between K-12 teachers and higher education faculty, bridging the gap between K-12 and higher education and allowing for a more seamless transition for students across the elementary, middle and high school and university levels. The series of five MEC content courses are designed to ensure that teachers are well prepared in mathematics with capacity to make instructional decisions that support improved student learning.
