Fellowships worth $300 are available while funds remain to help cover tuition for courses for teachers through the Nebraska Math and Science Summer Institutes (NMSSI) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln this summer. We have already awarded more than 110 fellowships to Nebraska teachers and have around 90 more to give away. Join your colleagues today in applying for an NMSSI Fellowship: https://cse.unl.edu/scimath/apps/apply.php. All current Nebraska mathematics teachers also automatically qualify for a 20 percent reduction in the cost of tuition.

LOCATION AND DATE:
Lincoln, June 10-14

MATH 803P*: Algebraic Thinking for the Elementary Classroom (Discussion will revolve around student understanding of Algebraic properties of mathematics as participants examine case studies, video segments and student work samples. Participants will explore instructional strategies for fostering Algebraic thinking that are appropriate for both the primary (K-2) and intermediate (3-5) elementary classrooms.)
* was formerly listed as MATH 896 in MyRed
