UW-Bothell receives math-education funding
Nov 02 2009
University of Washington, Bothell assistant professor of education Robin Angotti, Ph.D., has received funding from the Higher Education Coordinating (HEC) Board for an innovative program designed to bring middle- and high-school-level mathematics instruction up to 21st-century technology standards. The $660,220 grant funds “Math 2.0: Teaching Math in a Technical World,” a three-year project built upon an award-winning professional development program coordinated by the North Central Educational Service District (NC ESD), the Mathematics Leadership Alliance.
The goal of Teaching Math in a Technical World (TMTW) is to help educators harness new online technologies and mathematics software to teach students math, particularly in grades 6-10, a critical time for laying the foundation for readiness for college-level learning. The expectation is that, by integrating these tools in the demonstration of mathematical concepts, more students will gain proficiencies that will lead to success in higher-level mathematics.
The TMTW integrated work plan is comprised of three intensive, year-long professional development programs serving a total of 34 teachers and eight principals per year.
