Math Recovery Conference: April 15 - 17, 2009 Minneapolis MN
Mark your calendars and plan to join us in the progressive “City of Lakes” at the Crowne Plaza Northstar Hotel April 15- 17, 2009. This beautiful, recently renovated hotel will host our full agenda of informative sessions and renowned keynote speakers.
Broaden Your Mathematical Horizons
The 2009 Conference activities will begin on Wednesday and conclude at
noon on Friday so you will have time to travel home before the
weekend. Once again, this year we will also hold four Pre-Conference Workshops on Tuesday, April 14th. This opportunity will provide you with
a chance to explore selected topics more in-depth. This wonderful conference experience will provide many opportunities to expand your knowledge and expertise in teaching young children numeracy concepts. Come prepared to learn, grow, and share information with colleagues and friends in our “Math Recovery Café,” our private space within the hotel’s conference area where we can relax, network, and enjoy refreshments and conversations.
