Here are my notes on the 2015 CMC-North conference, plus a little neat graphical stuff (and doodles of the rooms some of the talks were held in).

We’re a week into the fall quarter—sweating out a hot August in class—and there are a few things I’ve done that I’d like to record for posterity:

• new wall diagrams (and seating layout)
• collaborative rule-setting
• Talking Points for communication skills
• traditional vs. standards-based grading in Haiku

As before, I’m concluding this year’s geometry classes with an all-too-quick look at right triangle trig and the area of regular polygons. This is a great way to wrap up the school year.
