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

12PreServiceProgram

Pre-service Scholarship Programs provide opportunities for undergraduate education majors to participate in MEC mathematics content courses alongside K-12 classroom teachers. For their practicum they team with experienced MEC teachers who are working to improve mathematics instruction and student learning. This productive partnership enables student teachers to teach and learn in classroom environments that model best practices and reflective thinking about how to help each child learn mathematics.
