Mini-Course Series
Welcome to MSTA's Mini-Course Series. Here you will find brief mini-courses that provide brief exposure to various topics. After completing the mini-course a certificate of completion automatically will be generated showing 0.5 hours of professional learning have been completed.
PLEASE NOTE -- If you are participating in this mini-course for BTAP requirements, completing TWO mini-courses creates a mini-course combo, which meets the quarterly requirement for ongoing learning support.
Beyond the Textbook:
Exploring Math Resources
This course is a self-paced mini-course that provides a brief overview of various math resources than can be implemented into any math classroom, regardless of the textbook or program used. Many of these resources can be used in a K-12 setting, but examples will likely be shared at a lower grade level so they are accessible to all participants.
