MI-AMTE Special Interest Groups

We currently have two special interest groups. We welcome others who wish to form a special interest group to contact any member of the board with a proposal.

Statistics Education

Led by Stephanie Casey

The purpose of this group is to improve the K-12 teaching of statistics (particularly the statistics standards in the CCSS-M) in Michigan by supporting teachers and those who work with teachers. The group brings together statisticians, statistics educators, and mathematics teacher educators to work collaboratively towards this goal.  

Contact Stephanie Casey to join the group, or visit the Member Area Stats Ed SIG page❖ for news and resources.

Teaching Mathematics Content (TeMaC)

Led by Theresa Grant and Nesrin Cengiz-Phillips

The TeMaC SIG focuses on sharing ideas about the design and teaching of courses that have the goal of furthering prospective teachers' understandings of the mathematics they plan to teach. This may occur in the context of content courses, methods courses, or blended courses.

Access the TeMAC SIG website⇗ for news and historical information.
