Northeast Front Range Math/Science Partnership

2004 Institutes:

Numbers & Operations

June 7-18, 2004; plus four follow-up meetings in Fall 2004. Instructors: Jeff Farmer, UNC, Diane Mickelson, Jeffco, Barbara Bath, CSM

Comments from participants:

  • "I have started to give more open-ended problems that look at multiple solutions, while still getting the students to discover the math concepts."
  • "By actually having the teachers put the methods into practice, we were able to see and prove to ourselves the value of what we were learning. This class has taught me a better way to teach and view mathematics. This is a very valuable tool for me to teach my students."
  • "Unlike many classes, this had an excellent balance of process and mathematics. I learned a lot about myself and a lot about how I can tie learning back to my students."
