In response to the NCTM Annual Conference cancellation due to COVID, NCTM decided to spread the conference out over 100 days, one webinar each night for 100 days! The topics range in content, pedagogy, and audience, but most sessions are applicable to a wide variety of contexts. At the NCTM website, the sessions are listed in order of appearance by month beginning in March. In order to make them easier to match to the content sections in this website, we have created a guide which organizes the webinars by topic:
Number and Operations Base Ten - Whole Numbers
Number and Operations Base Ten - Rational Numbers
Algebra and Data
Geometry and Measurement
Teaching Through Problem Solving
Methods
Equity and Access
The title, presentation date, and speaker(s) are listed under the topic headers on the linked Google Doc. Once you identify a webinar of interest, return to the link, https://www.nctm.org/online-learning/webinars/index, to locate by date the presentation that you would like to view. Next, click on the link to access the recording and handouts.
NOTE: The comment section in the linked Google Doc is provided for you to share your thoughts about how you might use or how you have used the information in the webinar. If you develop a resource such as discussion questions, activities, and/or powerpoint, please share by including a link in the comments column.
