I have gathered pdf files of some PowerPoint presentations I have made at conferences because these summarize visually ideas I think are important. Many of these presentations are about math domains, and you can find out more about these domains in the Publications and in the Teaching Progressions for those domains.  Sort the Publications list to find papers for that math topic, and look at the column following each Visual Presentation title to see which Teaching Progression to view for more detail and audio to go with the visual.

The top table contains some presentations that were recorded with my voice presenting the PPTs. These can be watched by clicking on PLAY in the final column. The PowerPoints for these presentations are also in the second table where they can be downloaded without my voice.

You can download the references for all presentations available here on this website by clicking here.

You can search for words within the table by entering words in the Search Here box. Then click the Clear Search button to reset the table.
