Breakout Session Presentations

First Breakout Session (9:30am - 10:30am)
Breakout Room Presenter Topic Description
1 Tuyetdong Phan-Yamada Building LU Calculator from Solving Linear Systems This talk will present the concept of building LU calculators for all matrices using simple Math concept - solving system of linear equations. Audience will receive free LU calculators and other interactive apps for Linear Algebra courses.
2 Saburo Matsmoto Liberal Arts Mathematics: First Two Years of a Long Journey I will share our own experience of offering Liberal Arts Mathematics, designed for non-BSTEM students in the AB705 era, at College of the Canyons. The presentation involves what I have been teaching my students as well as what they have taught me for the last two years.I will share our own experience of offering Liberal Arts Mathematics, designed for non-BSTEM students in the AB705 era, at College of the Canyons.

3 Barbara Illowsky, Richard Rasiej A CA Success: A FREE Co-Req College-Ready Math System – The Consortium Grows! AB 705 resulted in our 115 community colleges experimenting with ways for students to succeed in transfer level mathematics without placement tests or developmental education prerequisites. Presenters will share a new math collaboration among National University in San Diego, the National Laboratory for Education Transformation, and several California Community Colleges.
4 Fred Feldon How to Increase Engagement in Online Math Classes to a Level You Never Thought Possible Overcome students' predilection to passivity, create a pathway to equity and develop confident, motivated students.
5 Zheng Yang, Todd Edwards, Jingyi Zeng Thinking Fast and Slow: Promoting Mathematical Context with ELLs This talk focuses on methods for better supporting ELLs in mathematical classrooms. We will explore the vital role that culture and context play in mathematical problem solving and discuss ways to support.

Second Breakout Session (10:45am - 11:45am)
Breakout Room Presenter Topic Description
1 Anton Butenko Evolution of My Corequisites Courses In this presentation I would like to share with colleagues my journey with teaching corequisite classes and the transformation that my classes went through in the last 4 years. The main purpose is to share the ideas and gather some feedback so I can improve the quality of my corequisite courses.
2 Ben Smith, Edouard A. Tchertchian, Ji Y. Son Modernizing Community College Math with Data Science Pierce College responded to AB705 by modernizing introductory statistics with coding in R and Jupyter notebooks, common tools used by data scientists. Coding and simulations give students a new way to arrive at statistics concepts. Experience a bit of the course from the student and teacher perspective.
3 Revathi Narasimhan Math Comes Alive with Desmos and OneNote Leveraging the graphing app Desmos, this presentation will illustrate how a college algebra course for business majors is brought to life through engaging models and visualization, with OneNote as the content.
4 Joseph Estephan Rare Videos for Mathematical Support I have salvaged and transferred to video files many mathematical treasures that are rare and most not found on YouTube. This presentation will share those findings.
