This is an image of the mathematics poster created to share a visual message about the new program. Copies of the full size poster were distributed by the consortium in your area.

Alberta’s mathematics program includes seven mathematical processes that are critical aspects of learning and teaching mathematics. In this series, each video depicts an example of how these one of the processes are embedded in the classroom.

This session explores research-supported strategies for math achievement and gives an overview of some interventions and assessment strategies that Alberta districts are currently using including:

• Academy of Math
• Dreambox
• Power of Ten

This is the first of a series of provincial high school mathematics institutes hosted by ARPDC from 2010 to 2012. This first institute featured Dr. Peter Liljedahl and was shared with sites across the province via videoconference.
