Explore how technology can help students build mathematical understanding as they model and solve contextualized problems. Currently the $100 workshop fees are paid for participants by a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Using Technology and Problem Solving to Build Algebraic Reasoning
 
Technology Tools for Thinking and Reasoning about Probability
 
Participants explore how technology can help students develop fundamental concepts of multiplication, fractions, division and area through the process of generating data and examining patterns. Microsoft Corporation and Drexel University are helping to support participant costs. One Continuing Education credit (ten contact hours) from Drexel University is available for a fee of $25.
