Buffalo State is pleased to welcome Mary Ann Huntley, senior lecturer of mathematics and director of mathematics outreach K–12 education activities at Cornell University, for the presentation "Variability in the Algebra Content of Six High-School Textbook Series" on Wednesday, March 30, at 4:30 p.m. in Butler Library 210. Huntley will share the results from a textbook analysis project in which every item in each of six popular textbook series was examined and classified in terms of content, the cognitive behavior of students as they solved the problems, the presence of real-world context, and the use of tools to solve the problems (technology and manipulatives). Implications for practice will be also be discussed.
