Online Teacher Workshops
Technology Tools for Thinking and Reasoning about Probability
an online workshop for 5th - 9th grade teachers
|
In 2008, the Math Forum is 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 investigate some mathematics topics common to middle school curricula within the theme of probability. In this context we will explore the Math Tools digital library and several software tools that contribute in some way to mathematical understanding, problem solving, reflection and discussion.. . . . read more >>
