Data-Driven Mathematics Teaching Techniques (K-12)LOCATION: Mansfield University
DATE: June 20-25, 1999
(Times)
COSTS:
DESCRIPTION:
Participants will explore units designed to teach simple statistical techniques through the quantitative literacy approach, which has been proven to be exciting to both students and teachers. The focus will be on exploring data, probability and simulation, sampling, and designing experiments and their assessment.
The intensive workshop will feature classroom lessons for implementing the NCTM Standards in statistics and probability, training in gathering and analyzing real data of interest to the participants, and discussions of how to integrate quantitative literacy concepts with the Pennsylvania Department of Education Academic Standards for Mathematics.
In addition to the summer workshop, attendance at the pre-session and two, one-day, post-workshop sessions (in October 1999 and March 2000) is required.
