We will be hosting the Montana Math Meet (M cubed) in
Butte on August 10th and 11th. This
conference is free to MCTM members and $35 for non members. Unlike more traditional "sit and
get" conferences, this conference will be all about participation. One of the exciting features will be sessions
each day called "My Favorite".
In these sessions you will have the opportunity to take 5-10 minutes to
share something really cool that you do in your classroom. To give you an idea of what you could present
we will be sharing videos this spring
from MCTM members. If you have a
Favorite to share, you can make a one to two minute video and send it to Hilary Risser (hrisser@mtech.edu) to post. Our first video comes from Tony Riehl in
Billings. Please enjoy Tony's trick for
dealing with classroom distractions.

PAEMST award nominations are open
Do
you know a great Montana science or math teacher, teaching in grades K-6, with
5 or more years of professional teaching experience?
Do
you think that person should get some special recognition for their expertise
and dedication to student learning?
Would
that person mind receiving a $10,000 award from the National Science
Foundation, along with an expenses-paid trip to DC to meet with other awardees
and attend math and science professional development opportunities?
If
your answer is yes to the questions above, please consider taking a few minutes
to nominate that person for the 2016 Presidential Awards for Excellence in
Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST). In addition, please share this
important nomination information with your staff and colleagues and encourage
them to make nominations as well.
To
nominate a teacher for the award simply go to the website and fill
out the short form. To see a detailed description of the PAEMST award, click on
the “About the Awards” tab on this website.
If
you have any questions please contact:
Marco Ferro
Montana Professional Teaching
Foundation

Those nominated will be contacted
and asked to put together a formal application. Remember, regardless of
whether a teacher pursues the award or not, it is always a nice recognition in
and of itself to be nominated. The
nomination form really does only take one or two minutes to complete – so
please nominate somebody you know today.
Thank you in advance for your interest and participation in the 2016
PAEMST program.
