MDTP - News and Events

News:
In 2011-2012 MDTP is field testing the CAHSEE Preparatory Diagnostic Test that is designed to help teachers determine critical skills and knowledge in some areas needed for the CAHSEE test. This is also the final year for field-testing of the new Calculus Readiness Test that MDTP is developing. The project hopes to release both tests in Fall 2012.

Conferences
Each year, MDTP sites hold regional conferences to discuss current issues in mathematics education in California and effective uses of MDTP in the classroom. The conferences provide an opportunity for conversations among elementary, middle, and high school mathematics teachers and administrators as well as college and university mathematics faculty.

MDTP also presents and hosts booths at some regional California Mathematics Council conferences, this year at both the Palm Springs and Asilomar conferences. Please consider attending some of these events!
