1. to deepen mathematical knowledge in particular by examining
multiple approaches to topics and forging connections between strands;
2. to illustrate how teaching practice can be improved by illustrating
how content can be effectively delivered.
Plentiful examples of practice will be drawn from the following five
units of the standards-based Connected Mathematics Project:
Frogs, Fleas and Painted Cubes
