Learning Math with CTE
The Math-in-CTE model provides opportunities for math and CTE teachers to team teach, showing students where math intersects in real world applications. The age-old question of "Why do I need to learn this?" is answered by teaching difficult math concepts in a practical and experiential way.
Geometry in Construction and AMPED training was sponsored by NSERVE at New Trier High School in June 2022.
