Three Wayne Community College instructors presented this week at a national mathematics conference.
Math Instructors Elizabeth King, Michael McKenna, and Katie Mullins provided a session at the 45th Annual American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) Conference in Milwaukee.
The presentation, titled “Triggers for Your ‘How-To’ Manuals,” focused on sharing the WCC team’s use of “inventive narratives, memorable one-liners, and clever ditties “to solidify mathematical processes and techniques within their courses, focusing on Precalculus, explained Mullins.
“We have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to not only learn from our peers throughout the conference, but also share some of the wonderful things we are doing at Wayne Community College,” said Mullins.
