I can’t believe that I’m only now sitting down to write the first BHNmath newsletter of 2022! Although the past few months have been demanding, to say the least, I’m happy to report that they’ve also been full of opportunities for learning, collaborating and creating. As I’m sure you know, a fully de-streamed Grade 9 program will soon be implemented across the province. It’s been a pleasure meeting with teachers of a variety of subjects to discuss strategies for navigating this change and to make connections to the work we’ve been doing in the Mathematics, Grade 9 (MTH1W) course. I’m most certainly looking forward to continuing these conversations in the coming months and throughout the 2022-2023 school year. Also, although there’s barely anything there at the moment, the Mathematics of Data Management (MDM4U) section of the BHNmath site is now active! You can currently find a handful of new interactive applets related to probability simulations there (see below for some examples). I’ll continue to add to this course’s resource content upon request. Lastly, I recently had the opportunity to participate in a highly engaging day at Conestoga College’s Brantford campus (thanks, Carmine!). The visit was not only a ton of fun, but also a source of inspiration. The wheels are turning for a section of the BHNmath website dedicated to the mathematics needed for success in the skilled trades. Stay tuned!
