CMEF 2009: Participants’ Report
Taney Lazar and Chris Smith
A national conference for mathematics educators took place April 30-May 3, 2009, at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. The Canadian Mathematics Education Forum (CMEF) 2009 focused on the ways in which resources and assessment define, inform and mould curriculum. Teachers at all levels worked collaboratively with representatives from school systems, school boards, colleges and universities, mathematics and statistics departments, faculties of education, ministries of education, parent groups, and business and industry to address the recurring theme of curriculum implementation in today’s classrooms.
