Resources

• Assessing Mathematical Learning in the Era of Covid 19 After talking to folks in office hours, listening to faculty at web meetings, and reading responses from across the state and the nation, it is obvious that one of the primary concerns for faculty is their ability to accurately assess the mathematical learning of students. Laura Schueller has tried to capture some of her learning in this document.

• Our Friends at the UT Austin Charles Dana Center are managing a collection of helpful resources from across the US; these resources are added-to and updated daily.

• A collection of general materials from the Washington SBCTC organized and vetted by SBCTC staff.

• The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) has just released a set of broad recommendations for responding to the covid-19 crisis.
