The theme will be:=

"Valuing tradition while building readiness for the future...Mathematics in the 21st Century"

What exactly is meant by 21st century skills? What in our classrooms needs to change? What are the implications for our present practices?

John Svendsen, Mathematics Associate with the New York State Education Department, will be on hand to discuss upcoming issues surrounding the common core curriculum in mathematics.

In 2008 the WNYMATH conference was attended by over 300 area mathematics teachers. The conference was an overwhelming success, as judged by the decidedly positive evaluations that were turned in. However, we are always looking for ways to imrpove your professional development experience, so please contact us if you have any recommedations for improving the conference.

Two years over 20 vendors were on hand to showcase the many educational materials and supplies available for purchase. The attendees were able to visit with representatives from many textbook companies as well as providers of educational technology. Please help us spread the word and share the date of our conference with any vendors you know, so that we can all learn about the great classroom tools that are out there!
