Registration Now Open: The Joy of Math with Howie Hua
Join WVCTM for our Fall Virtual Webinar on November 17 at 4:00 PM, featuring math educator and Fresno State instructor Howie Hua. Howie teaches mathematics to future elementary teachers and has built a large following through his engaging math videos, teaching tips, and math memes. His work centers on helping people see themselves as “math people” and experiencing mathematics as something understandable, visual, creative, and joyful.
We’re excited to welcome Howie for “The Joy of Math” and spend an afternoon exploring ways we can help our students find more joy and confidence in mathematics. Registration is now open: https://tinyurl.com/WVCTMFall26
