California Math Council

I apologize for not writing a blog for the past few days; I was busy attending the California Math Council's 51st Annual Conference. Asilomar Conference Grounds hosted this event, where hundreds of math teachers gathered to share ideas and learn about the latest developments in mathematics education. There were numerous conference rooms and more than 200 sessions to choose from, tailored to various interests. On Friday, I attended sessions on "Using the TNSPIRE Calculator" and "Using Contextual Situations to Teach Linear Functions." During the session titled "Renew Yourself: Teaching Math in a Foreign Country," I had the opportunity to meet presenters Brian Lim and Stuart, who shared their teaching experiences in countries like Zimbabwe. I represented the Fulbright program and shared my experiences of teaching in the USA. On Saturday and Sunday, I chose to attend sessions such as "Trigonometry Comes Alive with Sketchpad" and "Differentiating Math Instruction in a Self-Contained Classroom." I also met Vishakha Parvate, who presented the Sketchpad session. The keynote speeches were incredibly valuable and provided an opportunity to hear from some esteemed figures in the field of math instruction.
