Exchanging Ideas and Strategies for Math B Success

On March 14th in Middletown, NY at the Ten County Math Educators Association annual conference, "Exchanging Ideas and Strategies for Math B Success" will debut. The workshop is a forum for teachers to share techniques for student learning and retention of the complex and lengthy nature of the Math B Regents curriculum.

Maximizing the usage of the TI-83/4 for better understanding and test performance will be a highlight as will the potential overuse of this tool.
Rounding will be discussed as the Math B's Part II, III and IV emphasizes this important skill.
