For the Love of Math

Have you ever heard someone say something along the lines of “I hate math”, “Math was never my strong suit”, or even “I’m just not a math person”? It may have been a student, a parent, a colleague, or even yourself who shared these sentiments. But why? Perhaps negative experiences with memorizing meaningless formulas, rules, or steps and completing a page full of practice problems that had little-to-no connection to our lives fueled such a dislike for learning mathematics. 

Understanding connections between mathematical concepts & skills, across topics and grade levels, among different representations, and to real-world applications are crucial for developing a love for math.  The North Mississippi Education Consortium is excited to announce a one-day conference for anyone who desires to create critical connections for the love of math! 

The North Mississippi Education Consortium is thrilled to offer a one-day conference for K-12 math teachers, math coaches, and administrators with strategies and tools to help students work through their frustrations and develop a new love of math.
