The Center for Innovative Teaching at the Urban School of San Francisco presents three summer workshops for math teachers.

July 19-22, 2010: Visual Algebra (with Henri Picciotto)
Make algebra more accessible, richer and more fun through visual approaches, including Lab Gear, geoboards, function diagrams, and intelligent use of technology. Learn three distinct visual paths to the quadratic formula. (This workshop will also be offered June 22-25 near Washington, DC.)

July 23, 2010: To the Third Dimension with Cabri 3D! (with Kate Mackrell)
Learn from a Cabri 3D expert how to use this dynamic geometry program and how to integrate it into your classes.

July 26-27, 2010: Hands-On Geometry (with Henri Picciotto)
Use manipulatives (geoboard, circle geoboard, pattern blocks, and various geometric puzzles) to liven up your geometry class. Learn a highly challenging and motivational computer-aided construction unit, and how to introduce proof in an authentic and meaningful way.

For time, place, registration, and logistics information, see

The CIT will also offer workshops in other disciplines, and a symposium for school leaders on integrating technology and education. Recruit a colleague from your school to save both of you 5% off the registration fees.
