MLCS Webinar – April 24 !!

MLCS is “Mathematical Literacy for College Students”, the first course in the New Life model.  Kathleen Almy, outstanding faculty and pioneer in this work, is offering an AMATYC webinar on April 24 (3pm Eastern, 2pm Central, 1pm Mountain, noon Pacific).  

The webinar is entitled “New Pathways for Developmental Math: A Look into Mathematical Literacy for College Students”, and is open for any AMATYC member.  Registration for the webinar is available at https://netforum.avectra.com/eWeb/DynamicPage.aspx?Site=AMATYC&WebCode=HomePage 

Here is the description for this 1-hour event:

Mathematical Literacy for College Students (MLCS) is a new course that is part of an AMATYC initiative called New Life for Developmental Math as well as the Carnegie Quantway project.  It is an innovative way to redesign the developmental curriculum, providing pathways for the non-STEM student.  The course uses integrated, contextual lessons to develop conceptual understanding and technology to improve mastery of skills.  In one semester, a student placing into beginning algebra will gain the mathematical maturity to be successful in statistics, liberal arts math, or intermediate algebra.  Reading, writing, critical thinking, and problem solving are key components to reaching that goal. Webinar participants will learn much more about the course as well as receive ideas for course development including a sample course outline and a sample lesson.

The live webinar is open to AMATYC members; recordings of AMATYC webinars are available after the event from the AMATYC webinar page http://www.amatyc.org/publications/webinars/index.html.
