Welcome
Grand Valley State University Mathematics Department is honored to host the 2022 Annual Meeting of the Michigan Section of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and the Michigan Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (MichMATYC). The meeting will take place Friday-Saturday, April 8-9.
Friday Special Session
Title: AMiIBL “Share and Mingle” (90 minute interactive session) [Friday at 3:30PM]
Abstract: AMiIBL (Alliance for Michigan IBLers) is a community of college math instructors around the state using student-centered, interactive, inclusive, inquiry-oriented teaching methods in their classrooms. In this session, members of AMiIBL will present “lightning” talks (~3 - 7 minutes) on their teaching over the past year. Talks may focus on particular challenges or successes, new ideas they tried, facilitating active learning online, etc. In addition to (approximately) 6-8 planned talks, there will be some “open mic” time for audience members to improvise their own 2-3 minute lightning talk. Time permitting, the session will end with open discussion time in small groups.
Those interested in reserving a slot to speak ahead of time can complete this Google form.
