Math Solutions founder, Marilyn Burns, made a special appearance at the OCM BOCES Network Team Math Solutions Institute. Marilyn has authored dozens of books, countless articles, and many resources for the teaching of mathematics. She addressed the Institute participants and other special guests on Friday, August 10th, on the OCM BOCES campus. Marilyn treated attendees to a close look at the Math Reasoning Inventory which is a free assessment tool that offers understanding about students’ reasoning abilities. The combination of her keen insight and experience, with a touch of humor, made for a special event and a great finale to the Institute.
The OCM BOCES Network Team Math Solutions Institute was three-day gathering of teachers of math from all of our districts. Focusing on the eight mathematical practices of the Common Core, participants learned how students best learn math and, therefore, how to best teach math. In the future, the OCM BOCES Network Team will provide support to districts as they change their teaching of math to be more aligned to best practices and the Common Core.
