Online Teacher Workshops
Using Technology and Problem Solving to Build Algebraic Reasoning
an online workshop for 5th - 9th grade teachers
|
In 2007, the Math Forum started hosting a series of online workshops for teachers who work with students in 5th through 9th grade. Currently the $100 workshop fees are paid for participants by a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Teachers will explore how technology can help students build algebraic reasoning as they model and solve contextualized problems using a variety of representations, including graphs, tables, equations, and words. . . . read more >>
