Spread the word to your colleagues about these courses with hands-on activities and a wide range of topics:
MATH 804T - Experimentation, Conjecture & Reasoning
Class #: 7516
In Person, 13 Avery Hall, June 12-16, 8am-5pm
This course focuses on problem solving, reasoning and proof and communicating mathematics. The overall goal for this course is to bring participants to the next level in the development of their mathematical habits of mind: A person who is an effective mathematical thinker has a toolbox of skills and knowledge to experiment, conjecture, reason, and ultimately solve problems. Sound habits of mind are marked by great flexibility of thinking and the strong belief that precise exposition of solutions is important. Possible topics include the Pythagorean Theorem, golden rectangles, Platonic solids, Fibonacci numbers, infinites, counting, and probability.
MATH 893 – Secondary-Integrated STEM
Class #: 6184
In Person, 13 Avery Hall, July 10-14, 8am-5pm
In this course, teachers will engage in project-based learning experiences that integrate STEM in intentional and meaningful ways. Teachers also will develop the depth of content knowledge needed to implement various integrated STEM lessons in their own classrooms. In addition, the course will address effective strategies for further integration and implementation of STEM content. Encourage science teachers from your school or district to take this course with you!
