Who Should Attend: |
Designed to cultivate community, promote collaboration, deliver high-quality professional learning, and inspire joy in the modern math classroom, Prisms’ conference is a must-attend event for secondary math and science educators, curriculum and technology leaders, building administrators, superintendents, and media who cover trends in education and K-12 education in Ohio. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why: |
For the last 100+ years math has been taught with paper and pencil in 2D. Even today’s education tools don’t enable students to utilize the multiple modalities through which human beings make sense, reason and deepen their understanding of the world around them. Prisms is the first learning solution that empowers students to experience real-life problems with their bodies in 3D versus reading about them divorced from personal experience or scratched on a piece of paper. |
