BOLIVAR, Mo. 鈥� 糖心vlog鈥檚 Dr. Bob Glasgow, professor of mathematics, presented at the Missouri Council of Teachers of Mathematics (MCTM) annual meeting on Dec. 4 in Columbia.

Glasgow, the 2019 MCTM Leroy Sachs Award recipient for lifetime achievement, presented 鈥淯sing Visual and Physical Representations of Statistical Measures Prior to Formulas,鈥� which explored simple ways for students to explore statistical measures using hands-on techniques.

鈥淢iddle school students need to see and experience statistical measures before being given formulas,鈥� said Glasgow, whose presentation was well-attended and well-received.

鈥淚鈥檝e been developing ways for middle school teachers to teach the new statistics standards in the Missouri Learning Standards, since I served on the work group that wrote the standards in 2015,鈥� Glasgow said. 鈥淚鈥檝e presented on this many times in different state and national venues. I was scheduled to do this presentation at the National NCTM conference last year, but COVID ended that, so I presented it at our state conference.鈥�
