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? Moderator: TBA

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. Moderator: TBA

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: TBA

Mid-terms and final exams can serve different purposes and take a variety of formats; other forms of assessment as used as well.. What do your assessments communicate about what you value in your algebra and geometry courses? What kinds of question formats do you use? Bring samples from your own midterm or final exam and compare with others. Share with the other participants the project ideas that you use as alternate forms of assessment in your classes.
