Education Development Center (EDC) Workshops
Developers of the newest NSF-funded mathematics curriculum programs, Think Math! (K-5) and CME Project (high school), are introducing new content-focused mathematics workshop for elementary and secondary teachers this summer in Boston, MA.
Developing Mathematical Habits of Mind -- CME Project Workshops
http://www.edc.org/cmeproject/
Participants will engage in an approach to mathematics that centers on developing mathematical Habits of Mind. Those who are interested in content-focused professional development as well as those who are planning to implement CME Project are welcome to register. CME Project is a new four-year, NSF-funded high school curriculum that is student-centered, problem-based, and organized around the familiar courses of Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and Precalculus.
Building Number and Algebra -- the Think Math! Way Workshops
http://www.edc.org/thinkmath/
In two workshops, one emphasizing grades K-2 and the other grades 3-5, participants will explore how to build skill and understanding in addition/subtraction, multiplication/division, fractions/decimals, and algebraic thinking/language.
