Connect with EDC at NCTM 2024
We invite you to join EDC researchers and discuss our equity-focused research at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in Chicago, Illinois. The theme of this year’s meeting is “The Math of Their Dreams: Illuminating Students’ Brilliance.”
EDC researchers will present findings related to playful math, closing math learning opportunity gaps, early data science learning, early spatial learning, mathematical argument, and using digital activities to enhance early math teaching and learning.
