WATG 2024 Annual Conference

In the Hamilton School District, we spent the last 3 years developing and implementing our new math vision which states: Where all mathematical learners are valued, and all learners are driven by curiosity, inspired by challenges, and committed to deep, conceptual understandings in order to navigate the world as flexible thinkers and doers of mathematics. To realize this vision, we created choice, compacted pathways for middle school, a wide variety of content and pacing options for high school, and an applied-math certificate for graduating seniors who venture off the "beaten path" of traditional math learning. Our comprehensive new programming took many hands focused on many minute details. In the end, we've created an innovative new vision for 5-12 mathematics that will inspire our next-generation mathematicians!
