They will have access to design equipment located at Bridgewater State College and will solve mathematical problems using this equipment. The lessons will include work in ratio and proportion, tessellation, variables, algebraic algorithm, and geometric concepts appropriate for these grade levels. Each day of the Institute, participants will be taught to solve mathematical problems based upon specific standards from the Middle School Mathematics Frameworks. After a period of independent study participants will present the course units developed during the second week, demonstrate how they have been used, and will report on their effectiveness and related assessment techniques at four Institute follow-up sessions. Please register early, as space is limited.
Registration form is attached.
