How to Integrate Math Skills Into Your CTE Course Using the NRCCTE Math-in-CTE Model
It’s not hard to find research on integrating academics into a CTE class that concludes with how that research will help your students. It is more difficult to find teachers who have done it and can demonstrate how you can integrate math into your CTE course. In this presentation from ACTE’s VISION 2012 meeting, Montana math and construction teachers use their lesson plans for a house-building class to offer a step-by-step approach to teaching students math while they build a house. Based on the NRCCTE’s Math-in-CTE model.Presenters:
