In the Fall of 2007 Suzanne Rougier and I were fortunate enough to present at the annual Colorado Council of Teachers of Mathematics conference. This 90 minute session discussed strategies for supporting struggling learners using the 2007 edition of Everyday Mathematics. Our presentation went extremely well and I was later invited out to the Byers School District to present the session again to a group of teachers as a part of their professional learning.
