Number Theory PROM/SE Mathematics Associates Institute Winter 2006
Agenda • Number Theory Grade-Level Groups (elementary, middle and high school) • Lunch • Curriculum and Instruction K-8 by district/grade level; 9-12 • Evaluation/Closing Session
Institute Leaders Sharon Strickland George Viebranz Joe Wagner Amy Mayfield Liz Jones Ginny Steele Gail Burrill
Morning Session GoalsParticipants will: • Reflect on the mathematical knowledge needed for teaching number theory concepts • Understand number theory concepts so they can flexibly interpret students’ ideas • Recognize the underlying principles, meaning and applications of number theory concepts • Analyze the ways of reasoning and proof about number theory concepts
Afternoon Session GoalsParticipants will: • Develop a set of tools and strategies for analyzing curriculum/instruction • Identify suggestions and indicators from research related to improving teaching and learning mathematics • Reflect on curriculum/instruction in their districts in their role as associates and make plans for next steps back in their schools
