Professional Development

Online Book Study

WMC is now hosting online book discussions.  One discussion is on Steve Leinwand’s Accessible Mathematics, and a second discussion will be on teaching ideas using Loreen Leedy’s books.  These discussions will be on the members-only part of the WMC website; click here to login:  http://www.wismath.org/index.php/login/ .  If you have difficulty logging in, contact the WMC offices at 262-437-0174.  Read the books, discuss online, and meet the authors at the WMC Annual Conference!

The Wisconsin Mathematics Council’s Elementary Listserv is designed to be a place for elementary teachers to communicate about the mathematics that is happening in the classroom, as well as share assessment and teaching ideas.  It can also be the place to pose any questions you have. The listserv will be facilitated by teachers who are in the classroom, just like you.

The Wisconsin Mathematics Council’s Algebra Listserv is designed to be a place for teachers of Algebra at the high school and middle school levels to communicate about the mathematics that is happening in the classroom, as well as share assessment and teaching ideas.  It can also be the place to pose any questions you have. The listserv will be facilitated by teachers who are in the classroom, just like you.
