This session will cover several pedagogical topics that have made my students successful learners, including Conceptual Layering, as well as snippets of three popular Teacher to Teacher Press activities that illustrate these topics.

I’ll also be presenting another session about GeoGebra, the free open-source software program that is gaining wide acceptance across the country; this session will focus on addressing mathematics standards.

Here’s the link to the Algebra Activities file:

He and his co-author, Brad Fulton, have written more than a dozen books for math teachers as well as over twenty-five Teacher Resource Manuals for teacher training seminars. On their companion website, Teacher to Teacher Press, you may find more materials to help math teachers. Known throughout the country for motivating and engaging teachers and students, Brad and Bill create activities that help teachers who believe mathematics must be both meaningful and powerful.
