Changing The Culture 2024 - AI and Mathematics Education

 

The annual Changing the Culture Conference, organized and sponsored by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences, brings together mathematicians, mathematics educators and school teachers from all levels to work together towards narrowing the gap between mathematicians and teachers of mathematics, and between those who do and enjoy mathematics and those who think they don't.

Workshop A: TBA
Workshop B: A Snapshot of Grading in Mathematics: Grade 8 to Post-secondary, Phil Stringer, Crofton House School


Grading practices have evolved significantly over the years, impacting both high school education and university-level courses. In this workshop, we explore changes stemming from the BC Ministry of Education’s Reporting Order, including proficiency scales, late submission policies, and other mandates. Additionally, we delve into how universities within the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) framework assess first-year calculus classes. Join us to gain insights into grading across educational levels and discuss strengths and threats in the system.
