2010 CURTIS CENTER MATHEMATICS AND TEACHING CONFERENCE: MARCH 6, 2010
We enthusiastically invite you to attend the forth-annual UCLA Mathematics Department's Philip C. Curtis Jr. Center for Mathematics and Teaching Conference on March 6, 2010! The conference is composed of a keynote talk and breakout sessions in three areas: Mathematics for Mathematics Teachers, Strategies for the Effective Instruction of Mathematics, and Mathematics Education Research and/or Recommendations. The keynote talk will be given by Dana Center's Uri Treisman. In addition, an outstanding group of speakers have agreed to present in the breakout sessions. We believe the day will be thought provoking and worthwhile for mathematics teachers, mathematics teacher leaders, mathematics education researchers, and mathematicians alike and hope to see you there!
