Tentative Agenda , " The Mathematics Education of Teachers" In 2001 the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences published The Mathematical Education of Teachers and hosted a National Summit on the Mathematical Education of Teachers. We will discuss the MET recommendations and (briefly) discuss Math Matters , a NSF funded project at UNL designed to strengthen the preparation of future elementary school teachers. 9:05 to 9:55 Breakout Sessions Geometry problems from the AMC 8, AMC 10, AMC 12, and AIME contests (with maybe a peek at the USAMO and IMO). I will bring comparative data on Nebraska versus national statistics as well as showing how to solve the problems. (Ambassador) Lenny VerMaas, instruction specialist at E.S.U. #6 in Milford . "Developing Number Sense on the Number Line" Grades 2-6 Transform your students into a life-sized number line. Students develop a conceptual understanding of numbers and the relationship between numbers and types of numbers as they place themselves along the number line.

About PIMMS Geometry and Measurement Probability and Statistics activities Integrating Science Usingthe TI83+ Data Driven Mathematics fractals and chaos Physics, Math http://www.wesleyan.edu/pimms/About.htm
Extractions: The PIMMS offices are located on the campus of Wesleyan University in a house originally built in downtown Middletown circa 1750. It was moved to its current location at 178 Cross Street in the early 1800s. History In 1979, Robert A. Rosenbaum, a professor of mathematics at Wesleyan University, convened a group of citizens who were concerned about the quality of mathematics education in CT. These meetings included mathematics teachers and faculty from the public school, community college, and university levels, school administrators, and representatives of business and industry. Their collaboration resulted in the formation of the Project to Increase Mastery of Mathematics (PIMM). PIMMS ( Project to Increase Mastery of Mathematics and Science ) began in 1983 when the organizations scope was broadened to include science. In the summer of 1984, the first of a continuing series of summer Fellowship programs for teachers was conducted. These two-summer, multi-week institutes are designed to increase the content background of participants, to provide them with new teaching strategies, including the use of technology, and to develop their leadership capabilities so they can extend the impact of their PIMMS experience to their colleagues and educators statewide.

Extractions: General Comments Generally teaching is an enjoyable experience to me and I try to make it an enjoyable experience for my students too. Without wanting to go into too many clichés, I believe that a successful course leaves the feeling: "Hey, this was fun and I learned something too!". In order for a course to really be fun, I try to stimulate creative thinking as much as possible and attempt to guide to knowledge through discovery. If you have any comments, please do let me know! Courses that I teach this year Computational Methods for Financial Analysis (SCC2301) Synopsis In this course I use the theme "Let's all become millionaires!" as the guide for approaching the many standard problems we encounter in business. Indeed, the good news is that the basic tools, knowledge and experience needed for being a successful investor are by and large the same as the ones needed in daily business. Special care is taken to show in detail how Excel, a tool of choice in almost all businesses, can be used to implement basic and advanced computing methods. The lectures will follow the workshop approach with active student participation. Actual samples (usually taken from the web) will be the basis for discussion and hands-on Excel programming in the tutorials while the practicals will focus on acquiring Excel skills and the working out of problems.

Extractions: Exercise your brain and your body as you learn about graphing algebraic and trigonometric equations. There are six activities that illustrate the plotting of an equation on a four quadrant graph. For example, how would you illustrate the line y=mx+c for different values of m? What happens when the constant b is increased in the equation y=ax+b? Not for kinesthetic learners only, this is a great way to understand how an equation "works." The life and works of Archimedes are presented along with images and animations of the Archimedes Screw, Stomachion (tiles similar to a tangram), the lever, Archimedean solids, and the Archimedes claw for upending and sinking enemy boats close to the harbor. Other topics include ancient Syracuse, stamps, and coins depicting Archimedes. This collection of classroom lessons is designed by classroom teachers and university researchers to integrate the K-4 national standards in mathematics (NCTM) and astronomy (NSES) using NASA science resources. Math concepts include number and operations, algebra, geometry and measurement. The lessons are grouped into grades K-2 and 3-5 and are in PDF format.
