Bringing Back the Rigour
Workshop Series for Teachers
Teachers who would like to know more about some “Big Ideas” in mathematics and their connections to classroom practice, are invited to attend one or more of this series of workshops, led by Drs. Kevin McLeod and Mike Hero, and sponsored by the Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP). We will discuss some useful, interesting and beautiful mathematics, and consider strategies for introducing some of these ideas into the high school curriculum.
Who: Teachers of Grades 9-12
When: Saturday, March 24: The Shape(s) of Space(s)
Saturday, April 28: Fun with Fibonacci and Friends
Saturday, May 26: Measuring Areas and Volumes (Mike Hero-facilitator) Saturday, June 9: P vs. NP: What Does It Mean to Solve a Problem?
Time: 8:30 – 11:30 am
Where: UWM-Engineering & Mathematical Sciences Building (EMS)
Room E495A
The Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership project, through UWM, will provide a
stipend to teachers in the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS), or to teachers in
MPS-affiliated schools, who are not currently employed by the UW System in any
capacity. The stipend amount will be $120 for each 3-hour workshop attended.
