F101. 8:15 AM - 9:30 AM KEYNOTE Grand Ballroom Limitless Mind: Learn, Lead and Live without Barriers

Jo Boaler Stanford University

Recent years have seen an explosion of scientific evidence, from neuroscience, and education showing that there is a different way to teach and learn, available to us all. When people take a limitless approach to learning – in content areas and in life – different pathways open up to them, leading to higher, more equitable and more enjoyable achievement. Mindset messages are important but they do not take root unless they are accompanied by a different approach to content and life. In this session we will consider what a limitless approach is, and the ways it is freeing for people. We will watch videos of students, see content differently and

think together about ways to create equitable and engaging learning experiences that are limitless.

F102. 8:15 AM - 9:15 AM 9-12 Regency Ballroom AB High School Level Meeting

Have your voice heard and receive the latest updates on your grade-level.

S406. 10:45 AM - 11:45 AM Cascades EF If we have calculators on our phones why are we still teaching fast facts?

Judson Aungst Dreambox Learning, Inc

In a recent Freakonomics podcast the authors discussed the problem with math curriculum. To better understand why we teach math the way we do today, the authors asked when the curriculum was designed and why. The instruction for math was first designed during the Sputnik space race in the 1960’s and it hasn’t changed much since.

Of the Freakonomics podcast listeners less than 12% use algebra, trigonometry or calculus in their daily lives. Only 2% use integrals or derivatives, the foundational building blocks of calculus. In contrast, a whopping 66% work with basic analytical software like Microsoft Excel on a daily basis. The processing power in smartphones that we carry around in our hands today is greater than the rooms full of NASA computers in the 1960’s. With the advancement in hardware and software we no longer have to train kids to be calculators. It’s time we changed math instruction to focus on what numbers mean.

We would like to thank everyone that volunteered their time, talent, and knowledge to make this conference happen. Without each and every one of you, we would not be able to host this wonderful event. Our love

for math and teaching is what brings us together. All of the students of everyone who attended this conference ultimately benefits from the professional learning made possible by your hard work!

The AMTNYS Seal

The AMTNYS Executive Seal was adopted in 1957, after the Council authorized the Executive

Committee to choose a suitable design. Mr. Richard Elfers submitted several possibilities from

which the final design was planned.

The mathematical symbols were used to indicate the four levels of instruction of the

membership.

+ for Elementary Schools i for Senior High Schools

x for Middle Schools ∫ for Colleges and Universities

The lines were drawn to show the intersecting interests of a part of a particular sector of the

whole, but all are bounded by a perimeter of AMTNYS membership. The Association name is

used as a frame for the whole seal.

Thus, the design is the result of an official act of the Council and administration which

inaugurated it.


The Four (4) Regions of AMTNYS

AMTNYS is a very large organization with over 2,000 members. That being said, its strength comes from its members and the vital part each and every one plays. To help keep the organization strong and growing are the many hands that are working hard behind the scenes to share with others about the purposes of this organization and the benefits of being an active member.

AMTNYS consists of four major regions (A, B, C, D). Each region has an Executive District Representative (Board Member, EDR), several District Representatives (DR), and County Chairs (CC). These volunteers work closely with the very heart of what makes AMTNYS such a great organization, and that is YOU!

The County Chairs are the link between AMTNYS and Teachers in their area. They work on promoting membership, disseminating information about AMTNYS activities and any AMTNYS news. They, along with their District Rep, are making sure that each school in their area has a contact person and/or is being contacted by a member of AMTNYS with any information from the organization. These people also bring your concerns, thoughts, ideas, and more to the Executive Board.

Please take time to learn what region you are in and who your contact people are. They are there for you. We not only want to be able to share information with you, but we would love for you to share with us what is going on in your school, district, or BOCES. We are always looking for people to get involved. If you have ever thought about wanting to become more active in AMTNYS, this is a great way to start! Find your representative today and give them your contact information.


Are you a

conference speaker? board member? math coach? mentor teacher? department head? supervisor?

and/or a math leader in your school?

If you answered yes to any of these, put the NYSAMS Summit, which focuses on leadership in mathematics education, on your calendar. The Summit will be held on Friday, May 8 starting at 10:00am. Please visit the NYSAMS website or email [email protected] for information as it becomes available.
