Math Connects

On January 12, 2010 I gave my very first Math Connects sales presentation in East Peoria, IL. Math Connects is a vertically aligned Pre-K to Grade 8 core mathematics program. Math Connects provides opportunities for students to build their understanding of mathematical concepts by giving them ample practice to master important skills. All concepts are taught and practiced through a strong problem-solving environment. Math Connects helps students make connections to the real world and produces strong problem solvers. To see a video about Math Connects please click on this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1SBskUIf1w. I studied the materials and practiced presenting my presentation in front of Picasso the Cat. I received positive feedback from Holly, the Central Illinois sales rep, and from her manager Chrissie. Although I need to continue to practice and study Math Connects, I was pleased with what I was able to accomplish in a short amount of time. Below are photos of some of the little people in my life playing with Matthew Cando, the Math Connects mascot.
