Grant-funded Online Workshops

Grades 5-9:
Technology Tools for Thinking and Reasoning about Probability
Teachers will investigate some mathematics topics common to middle school curricula within the theme of probability. In this context we will explore the Math Tools digital library and several software tools that contribute in some way to mathematical understanding, problem solving, reflection and discussion. Currently the $100 workshop fee is being paid for our participants by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

 

Grades 5-9:
Using Technology and Problem Solving to Build Algebraic Reasoning
Teachers will explore how technology can help students build algebraic reasoning as they model and solve contextualized problems using a variety of representations, including graphs, tables, equations, and words. Currently the $100 workshop fee is being paid for our participants by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

 

Grades 3-5:
Tools for Building Math Concepts
This workshop introduces the use of computers to develop understanding in these areas through the exploration of patterns and analysis of data. Microsoft Corporation and Drexel University are helping to support participants with the workshop fees. The one and a half-year grant ended August 31, 2008. Workshop starting time and registration fees will be posted soon.
