Bringing the Real World to the Classroom: Career-Connected Math Tasks
Wednesday July 29, 2026 10:45am - 11:45am MDT
TBA
Engage students with authentic mathematics that fits seamlessly into your daily instruction! Join our hands-on showcase of career-connected tasks bringing local industries directly to your classroom.
Built by Idaho educators, these materials follow one strict rule: "The math project has to be something these industry folks actually do at their job." Step into the shoes of a power lineman, a Fish & Game biometrician, and a taco truck entrepreneur to actively experience these concepts.
Leave equipped with ready-to-use materials to finally answer your students' favorite question: "When are we ever going to use this?"
Co-Facilitators / Task Designers: Co-Facilitators / Task Designers: Nicole Anderson, Steve Palmer, Callie Rose, Russel Seay, Lesley Marks, David Repke, Rebecca Owen, Emily Wasemiller, Mandy Simpson, Austin Duerksen, Kristen Montague, Nathan Cardon, Landon Belnap, Mitchell Parsons With: Josh Watson, Kathy Prummer, Veronica Blackham, Carol Hicks, Jayce Bell, Katie Bosch-Wilson
