AMATYC 2015 Booth #311

Hello! For today's post, we wanted to update our readers on Paul's schedule for AMATYC 2015. In addition to manning the Academic Success Press Booth (#311), Paul will also give a presentation titled: Integrating Math Study Skills: Classroom, Modular, and Online Approaches. The presentation is scheduled for Saturday between 10:30 and 11:45 a.m. For more information, see the promotional material below. 

This workshop demonstrates how to integrate math study skills into classroom, modular, emporium, and online courses by teaching students reading, homework, memory, note-taking, test-taking, anxiety reduction and motivational skills. It will also help faculty learn how to use modern technology, including phone and tablet applications, to help their students become better independent learners. The discussion will then move on to our new Academic Success Press math success blog, which features numerous interviews with national experts, including many who will present at the NADE/AMATYC National Math Summit in March. The blog is intended to establish a meeting ground for those working in the world of mathematics education. It features articles on recent events, research, and prominent individuals in the field.

It is also meant to help readers keep their fingers on the pulse of shifts and trends in modern math education. 

​Dr. Paul Nolting will lead off the presentation by discussing redesigns and describing various reasons why students need math study skills, test anxiety reduction techniques, motivation strategies, and student math success plans. He will also discuss online learning and how Emathready.com is the only online math study skills website with an online Math Readiness Survey and corresponding modules to improve online student success. Leah Rineck of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee will then describe how she uses the Winning at Math text in her modular math courses to improve math study skills. Dr. Rochelle Beatty of Kansas City Community College will then discuss how faculty and administrators can use the Academic Success Press Blog to follow recent research trends and ultimately help improve the success of developmental math students. The workshop will end with general discussion, questions on improving math success, and information about the next National Math Summit.
