The abrupt transition to remote learning last Spring brought a unique set of challenges for math educators. Faculty are now faced with how to effectively teach math classes in a combination of in-class, hybrid, and online modalities. Derivita provides the flexibility that faculty need to create student-centered learning experiences with powerful tools that work in any LMS anytime, anywhere, on any device.

In this session, Derivita’s cofounder, Devlin Daley, will preview Derivita's latest capabilities including: Assignment Assembly for creating homework, quizzes, and exams, Show Work for capturing handwritten student work, and Spotcheck , a synchronous, online tool that encourages real-time student engagement and class participation.

Join us for a chance to win a Derivita t-shirt, picnic blanket, or other prizes!

Created by the cofounder of Canvas , Derivita is a first of its kind math platform with a proprietary computer algebra system. Built for educators, Derivita provides a library of 30,000+ questions from Algebra to Calculus III. Student submissions are entirely auto-graded and students are provided with immediate, targetted feedback. Derivita can be used with any textbook and can be accessed on any device — laptops, tablets, Chromebooks, and even smartphones.

Fitbit, Apple Watch, and MyFitnessPal - what do these popular fitness platforms have in common? They provide instant feedback, are simple to use, and contain a gamification component. This presentation covers how to successfully motivate and engage students in your course through active learning using these features that have turned the fitness device industry into a booming market. Participants will walk away with effective strategies and activities for immediate implementation into the math classroom both in-person and remotely. This includes best practices for Jamboard, Desmos Activity Builder, Kahoot!, Math Mazes and so much more.

Jessica Bernards has been teaching mathematics since 2005 and Wendy since 1992. Both began their careers at the high school level before transitioning to the college level. Jessica and Wendy have taught a wide range of classes from developmental math through calculus, both on campus, remote, hybrid and online. Additionally, they have developed a free Math Study Skills Program, which is now used across the nation. They are also authors for Pearson Education.

The macaroni salad served at the spring conference has been a favorite of many attendees. The recipe for it is a variation of one that can be found in the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que Cookbook.
