Mathematics and Computer Science (MACS) Collaborative at Bridgewater State University

 

2011-2012 MACS Seminar Series 

Theme: "Rejuvenating Mathematics Instruction to Meet the New Standards".

 

The Mathematics and Computer Science (MACS) Collaborative provides professional development for mathematics educators in Southeastern Massachusetts. MACS is pleased to announce our seminar offerings for the 2011-2012 school year.  Space is limited, so be sure to register and send payment by October 24.  Sessions at four grade spans (PreK-3, 4-6, 7-8, or 9-12) are being offered for each seminar. Calculators may be used during the sessions; please bring your own grade appropriate calculator.

 

Participants will be engaged in activities that will enhance their own understanding of each session topic. The instruction will model pedagogy that can be used to develop students' proficiency with the mathematics.
