Health Sciences + Math = Student Engagement

We are a continuum of schools working to engage our students in the STEAMM theme. Seeing double?
Double M's! Yes, we have two. Math and Medical! Turns out these neighbors can work together in
harmony. In this session our team would like to share with you how we have found fun connections
between math and health sciences that pack a strong punch in student engagement. Come get your heart
pumping and your brain thumping with Med Pro 21!

NCTM Principles to Actions: Establishing Mathematics Goals to Focus Learning, Implementing Tasks that Promote Reasoning and
