Northeast Front Range Math/Science Partnership

2004 Institutes:

Patterns, Algebra & Functions

June 14-25, 2004; plus four follow-up meetings. Instructors: Jodie Novak, UNC, Nina McGibney, Jeffco, Kathy Wandzek, Adams 12

Comments from participants:

  • "Pushed my knowledge beyond what it is and pushed me to use knowledge I had forgotten. The new information gave me a fresh perspective on what, why, and how these strategies work with students."
  • "It was a really well-run institute that did a great job of presenting algebraic concepts and how you can teach them in your classroom."
  • "I have encouraged students to explain their math reasoning more often and engage in representational math, leading to stronger connections and understanding of math concepts."
