Have a STEM Event? Let us spread the word!
If you know of any STEM-based programs or events to take place that you would like us to announce, we would be glad to review them and post them on our website event calendar!
In order to get started, submit an event on our event upload form at this link or email [email protected], and we will do the rest! We appreciate you contributing to STEM education in Arkansas!
Join this hands-on day to explore Alkalinity, Conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen, Freshwater Macroinvertebrates, Mosquitoes, Nitrates, Water Temperature, and Water Transparency. Registration Fee: $50 Register: http://bit.ly/2DTRzB0
Tiffany Taylor, from Rogers Heritage High School is presenting about using Standards Based Grading in the classroom from a science perspective: Wednesday, June 19 from 9am - noon by the NWA Stem Teachers Group at Rogers Heritage High School. Tiffany plans to share a bit of her journey, and how to start (or tweak) your […]

AR Math QuEST (Quantitative Essentials for Students and Teachers) is a journey for ambitious teaching that promotes equity and engagement of all students in meaningful mathematics learning experiences of reasoning and problem solving. AR Math QuEST empowers educators to help students develop positive identities as doers of mathematics to increase student achievement. This session will […]
Anticipating, assessing, and advancing students during problem solving will be the focus of this session. Participants will anticipate student responses, make decisions about next steps through a learning progression, and design questions to push students forward. This session will help you be more purposeful as you become more aware of your students' math understanding.
When are students initially introduced to area? What are the progressions of area in grades 5-7? How is it possible to make connections that will enhance students’ conceptual understanding of area? Join us on an adventure that will tell the story of area progressions, connect area attributes that will allow students to productive struggle while […]
Teaching Geometry using a problem-based core curriculum has changed the way that we thought we knew how to teach math. For students to conceptually understand and learn math it is no longer “I do-we do-you do,” it is now “students do-students collaborate-whole group”. Participants will see that students can make connections between their own way […]
When students engage in mathematical discourse, teachers are provided an opportunity to listen and learn more about the math they understand. Students also learn to analyze differences between strategies and justify the ones they agree with. This session will highlight why these are important aspects of communication in mathematics, and demonstrate how these strategies can […]
This lesson introduces students to the concept of surface area. They use what they learned about area of rectangles to find the surface area of prisms with rectangular faces. Students begin exploring surface area in concrete terms, by estimating and then calculating the number of square sticky notes it would take to cover a filing […]
