DIVISION of Fractions: Grades 4-6 In this session you will explore ways to help students conceptually understand division of fractions. We will use hands-on manipulatives and the rectangular area model of division. How does the concept relate to the algorithm? Why do we flip the second fraction when we divide? We will utilize the CCSS...
Understanding environmental systems, providing clean water, predicting water availability, and understanding material properties are just a few of the areas where data science is enabling science breakthroughs. This talk by Dr. Deb Agarwal (Senior Scientist, Data Science and Technology) will describe some of these science challenges and the role for data science in helping to...
Location: Fresno State -- Peters Business Building Room 13 Come celebrate women in mathematics, and learn how to play the new Notable Women in Math Playing Cards Game, EvenQuads, developed by the Association of Women in Mathematics.

From data presented in news on topics such as elections and public health, to data analytics reported from social media and fitness apps, data permeate many aspects of daily life. Calls for data science education focus on the need for all students to become data literate through K-12 education in order to be active and...
Abstract: This presentation will introduce the field of topological graph theory. Along the way, YOU will get to work on some elementary problems and present your insights, so that YOU will acquire a sense of how mathematicians approach topological graph theory questions. Biography: sarah-marie belcastro is a free-range mathematician, currently Director of MathILy and Research...
What are some core strategies for providing math instruction that is equitable for students? In this session, we will discuss strategies and then focus on ways to help students make connections within mathematics that can empower them to develop new levels of understanding. We will have both examples of tasks that provide opportunities for connections...
Brian Lindaman, from CSU Chico, will be discussing highlights from the new proposed CA Math Framework, including an overview of the new chapter arrangement, revised timeline, focal points of each chapter, and a discussion of changes between the May 2021 version and the current version. Opportunities to delve more deeply into particular vignettes and language...
