Yet despite its importance, many students struggle to master these skills, and educators often lack evidence-based tools and strategies tailored to diverse learning environments.<\/p>\n<p>The packed conference agenda addressed this gap, featuring 30 short talks, 5 plenary speakers, and 10 engaging poster presentations. Attendees explored a wide range of topics, including innovative teaching methods, cognitive frameworks supporting quantitative literacy, assessment approaches, and strategies for integrating quantitative reasoning across STEM disciplines. In addition, the conference fostered rich interdisciplinary discussions among education researchers across STEM fields and from both K-12 and higher education settings.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10267\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10267\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10267\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/scst\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2026\/02\/ASchuchardt-makeitmakesense.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Anita Schuchardt gave a talk titled, Make it Make Sense\" width=\"580\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/scst\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2026\/02\/ASchuchardt-makeitmakesense.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/scst\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2026\/02\/ASchuchardt-makeitmakesense-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/scst\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2026\/02\/ASchuchardt-makeitmakesense-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/scst\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2026\/02\/ASchuchardt-makeitmakesense-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/scst\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2026\/02\/ASchuchardt-makeitmakesense-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10267\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Anita Schuchardt, University of Minnesota, gave a talk titled, Make it Make Sense: Mathematics in Undergraduate Biology.
