Library to Offer Program on Common Core Math

Tompkins County Public Library will present “Common Core State Standards for Mathematics,” an informational program for parents and caregivers, February 25 at 6 p.m. in the Thaler/Howell Programming Room.

Facilitated by Mary Ann Huntley, senior lecturer of mathematics and director of mathematics outreach and K-12 education activities at Cornell University, this program will explore the controversy and confusion related to newly adopted math standards.

Huntley earned her Ph.D. from the University of Maryland and serves as a research associate for the Center for the Study of Mathematics Curriculum. 

Participants will be encouraged to ask questions and share their experiences with “new” math during Huntley’s presentation.

This program is free and open to the public.  For more information, contact Sarah Glogowski, head of the Library’s Youth Services Department at sglogowski@tcpl.org or (607) 272-4557 extension 255.
