Crissie Ricketts and Kelly Hemmerling, authors of Fast Track to a 5 for AP® Precalculus, share their exam review strategies based on many years teaching AP® mathematics courses, and their experiences as leaders in the AP® Precalculus exam reading. This webinar will focus on how to help students with study strategies, understanding the structure of each of the four free-response task models, and suggest assignments for AP exam prep.
As a former math teacher, I understand the importance of creating a stimulating and conducive learning environment for our students. A well-organized and inviting classroom can significantly impact student engagement and academic success. Here are some valuable tips for setting up your math classroom for the new school year, suitable for all grade levels.
Revamp your math review sessions with these fun & creative activities! From escape rooms to student-led mini-lessons, inject excitement into end-of-year reviews. Check out these engaging ideas and make math memorable!
Today’s learners will be tomorrow’s leaders, and the conversations that unfold within the classroom serve as the bedrock upon which students will build their lives in the years ahead. While from the outside, the roles of educator and student as giver vs receiver of knowledge (respectively) is clear, we as educators know that we learn as much from our students as they learn from us (sometimes more)…
If you or your school are still deliberating whether to offer AP® Precalculus next year, this webinar will help! Paul Battaglia, author, consultant, and teacher, will guide participants through ways in which they can begin with a single question stem and then branch into various topics and/or representations. How can a question about the linear velocity of a Ferris wheel turn into a deeper task with multiple parts, covering multiple Precalculus topics? How can you take three basic polynomial functions and branch from the analytical to the numerical to the graphical, AND cover asymptotes, exponential functions, and logarithmic equations?
View this webinar to see how it’s done! This type of questioning is guaranteed to have your students thinking laterally, and THAT will level up any Precalculus class.

Now, more than ever, Social/Emotional Learning (SEL) is a critical component of classroom instruction. Welcoming students back to in-person learning this year has meant learning how to support students in new ways after a traumatic 18 months. Students are showing up differently in our classrooms, requiring new and different support, and engaging in different ways than we are used to when it comes to their peers and their schoolwork. In order to rise to the occasion, teachers everywhere are turning to SEL to help students feel comfortable and confident in the classroom environment so that they are ready to learn.
The mathematics classroom is not always the first place we think of when we think about incorporating SEL, but when you think critically about it, SEL is truly embedded in the study of mathematics. Students engage in real-world problem solving, collaborate with their peers, weigh different approaches to solving problems, and discuss the merits of those solutions. By integrating SEL into daily instruction in small, simple ways, math teachers can build students’ skills and improve their ability to engage with mathematics content.
In our recent webinar, “Incorporating Social and Emotional Learning in K-12 Math Classrooms for a Changing World” Dr. Laurie Boswell, Courtney Adams, and myself dig into SEL’s role in the math classroom. We share more about what SEL is and give ideas for simple ways to weave it into your existing instruction. SEL does not have to be flashy, time-consuming, or even obvious. We share strategies for boosting students’ independence, interpersonal skills, and executive functions so that they can be their best selves in the math classroom.
