The participants for the conference were there to learn techniques on how to improve their content courses in the classrooms of students from kindergarten through eighth grade. This was also done in part to help effectively teach math to the students in the classroom. To learn more about this conference read more in this article!

Grants given to schools can do amazing things and this is no exception. A grant that was given from the National Science Foundation hosted a Mathematics Teacher Preparation Conference in June which was hosted at the University of Delaware. This conference welcomed math teachers from 16 different universities across the country to help further their skill set.
Conference helps math teachers learn new techniques for effective teaching.
Key Takeaways:
1
The Mathematics Teacher Preparation Conference, held at the University of Delaware, helped math teachers learn how to teach their students more effectively.
2
The new model discussed focuses on a limited number of topics necessary for future success, such as dealing with fractions, and then explores those concepts in more depth.
3
Teachers at the conference learned about the new model and had the opportunity to attend seminars and lectures about other topics designed to help them improve their math teaching skills.
