MathFest 2010
Welcome to the SIGMAA TAHSM
(Teaching Advanced High School Mathematics) website. TAHSM was founded in 2004 and began membership in 2005.
The mission of SIGMAA TAHSM is to support MAA members who share an
interest in issues related to post-precalculus mathematics at the
secondary school level by providing a forum for exchanging ideas,
fostering increased understanding of these issues within the MAA,
increasing the dialogue between the MAA and high school teachers, and
utilizing expertise of the members in guiding and improving
mathematical opportunities for advanced high school students.
There are often TAHSM sessions at the summer MathFest meetings in early August each year. Sessions are designed to appeal to the high school and university faculty who are teaching courses in calculus, statistics, discrete mathematics, and other topics that bridge the classes after precalculus and before the mathematics that begin the studies of a mathematics major. The 2011 MathFest was held in Lexington, KY from August 2-4, 2011. Links to presentations for the TAHSM session "Beautiful Lessons Found on the Scenic Route" are here.
MathFest 2012 will be held in Madison, WI in August 2012. Registration will open in late spring 2012. Register at www.maa.org .
