The Mo Chart: a New Way to Find and Use the LCD
I will demonstrate a new method for finding the Least Common Denominator. It is found using a chart
which contains the prime factorization of each denominator.
The chart can also help with building up fractions and reducing the final answer. The chart is best used
for arithmetic, but can be extended to finding the LCD of algebraic rational expressions.

The Impact of Technology on the Teaching of Statistics
We will demonstrate (by having participants actually use) some of the interactive materials for statistics learning
that our team has been developing at CSM. These materials are of the guided inquiry type and go farther than other
such materials in integrating data analysis of real data with the lessons of statistics in a consistent way.
