Call for Proposals to IDK? should highlight the depths of knowledge levels that are incorporated in a mathematical investigation that incorporates mathematical practice and content standards in the Alabama College and Career Readiness Standards.  The depths of knowledge should be correlated with Norman Webb’s research:  Level 1 (Recall), Level 2 (Skill/Concept), Level 3 (Strategic Thinking), and Level 4 (Extended Thinking).  Session presenters will all be given equal gifts for their service to the greater mathematical community. Deadline for proposals is March 1. Go to www.eactm.com to submit your proposal.

Was reviewing some data the other night from MAA and found these interesting tidbits concerning Mathematics Education Associations.
