Angie Hodge, assistant professor of mathematics, received funding from the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute to attend a workshop titled “Critical Issues in Education: Teaching Undergraduates Mathematics.” A mathematics educator and researcher, Hodge was able to provide a unique perspective to the discussion.

Held at the institute May 11-13 in Berkeley, Calif., the workshop showcased courses, programs and materials with the goal of increasing students’ knowledge of mathematics.

The audience for the workshop included mathematicians, mathematics educators, classroom teachers and education researchers who were concerned with improving the teaching and learning of mathematics in undergraduate classrooms.
