Are we providing our algebra and geometry students with what they need to succeed when they subsequently take our precalculus courses? What are the key ideas that may need more emphasis in these classes? Moderators: Stacy Del Vecchio, Chatham HS and Bill Crombie, MetroMath (Rutgers University)

Incorporating technology and new topics in precalculus and calculus classes have forced us to think about which traditional topics should be deleted or given less emphasis. This session will provide us an opportunity to share our thoughts and our solutions. Moderators: Eric Berkowitz, Parsippany Hills HS and Kevin Merges, Rutgers Preparatory School

New teachers are often assigned upper-level high school courses like precalculus and calculus. If you’re a new teacher, what questions do you have about these courses (or other courses)? Veteran teachers, come share your helpful ideas. Moderator: Doug Smith, A.P. Schalick HS (Pittsgrove)

This sharing session will provide participants with project ideas to use as alternate forms of assessment in their classes. If anyone has a "special project" to share, bring it to the session. Moderator: Fred Decovsky, Teachers Teaching with Technology

This sharing session will provide participants with an opportunity to learn from each other about their experiences in using alternate forms of assessment in their own classes. Moderators: Siham Alfred and Lynne Kowski, Raritan Valley Community College

How can we keep Algebra Skills alive during Geometry? What methods will help to achieve this task? Do we directly or indirectly integrate Algebra and Geometry? Moderators: Nancy Fedor, Cardinal McCarrick HS (South Amboy) and Michael Thayer, Summit HS

Mid-terms and final exams can serve different purposes and take a variety of formats. What does your exam communicate about what you value in your Precalculus course? What kinds of question formats do you use? Bring samples from your own midterm or final exam and compare with others. Moderator: Neil Cooperman, Millburn HS

What are the most common errors made by students? Have you discovered a strategy to help overcome the errors? If so, bring it to share. A handout on some student errors will be provided; collectively we may discover a strategy to help them avoid these errors. Moderator: Joyce Leslie, Columbia HS (Maplewood)

How can we best prepare high school students for success in college mathematics? An open discussion. Moderators: Angelo DeMattia, Consultant, Jay Schiffman, Rowan University, and Charlie Schwartz, Rider University
