EDC at NCTM, NCTM Research, and NCSM Conferences (4/13–18)

Join EDC’s mathematics education experts at the 2015 National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics Annual Conference, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Research Conference, and National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Annual Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts. NCSM and NCTM Research will take place April 13–15, and NCTM will take place April 15–18.

Learn more about EDC’s mathematics research, professional development, and instructional resources:

  • Attend EDC sessions on topics such as formative assessment, equity, promoting early math learning, and the CCSSM Standards for Mathematical Practice. See the following table for a complete list of sessions.
  • At NCTM, learn about EDC and our Mathematical Practice Institute at Booth #543 in the Exhibit Hall.
  • Look for our books Bringing Math Students into the Formative Assessment Equation and Math for All at the Corwin booth (#534).
  • Check out our new book Making Sense of Algebra: Developing Students’ Mathematical Habits of Mind and our Transition to Algebra curriculum by visiting the Heinemann booths (#834, #835).
