The 2018 Conference for the Advancement of Mathematics teaching will be taking place at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas July 16-18.
You can come see us at booth #216 all three days of the show, and get hands-on experience with ST Math while speaking with members of our team.
MIND’s Lead Mathematician Brandon Smith and Vice President of Content Creation Nigel Nisbet will be presenting at the conference on Tuesday, July 17th.
Here are the details on their sessions:
Time and Place: 1 pm in room 372A
Presenter: Brandon Smith
Session Overview: Math is everywhere and in everything, and yet we only usually see it in the classroom with paper and pencil. Let’s explore the three I’s to supercharge anything to become a math experience that enhances engagement and learning for all.
Time and Place: 2:30 pm in room 372B
Presenter: Nigel Nisbet
Session Overview: Where does the creative impulse belong in STEM education? Why are tech companies recruiting Liberal Arts majors? Is Mathematics still the fundamental part of STEM? But if so, why is it so often taught without any challenge to demonstrate creative thinking? MIND Research Institute’s Vice President of Content Creation Nigel Nisbet will demonstrate how using innovative technology based on neuroscience and motivational research can transform the learning process of mathematics for students, teachers, and parents.
Time and Place: 4 pm in room 382A
