The secondary mathematics education program and the Coalition of Science Literacy collaborated with the Prep and Me Program in Spring 2023 to create an opportunity for high-achieving secondary students to engage in mathematics enrichment activities that promotes computational and mathematical thinking. This initiative created opportunities for our secondary students to engage in higher-level cognitively demanding tasks. It also provided preservice teachers opportunities to reflect on best practices for teaching mathematics in a virtual setting while maintaining mathematical rigor.
