Summers 1998, 1999, 2000

Washington, DC

Responsibilities: Selected to participate in the three-year Mathematical Association of America project entitled Historical Modules for the Teaching and Learning of Secondary Mathematics, in association with its ongoing project, the Institute in the History of Mathematics and Its Use in
Teaching (IHMT). I was selected from eighteen high school teachers that came to Washington from July 20 to July 31, 1998 , and three subsequent summers in 1999 and 2000, to take a course in the history of mathematics and to work on developing modules using historical materials which will help in the teaching and learning of mathematical ideas in high school. I worked with a team of 3 other members to write our module which was on the topic of Exponentials and Logarithms. The module will be piloted and field tested in the Spring of 1999. Over the next two summers, 1999 and 2000, we will be designing and field testing one more module. After the modules are field tested and edited, a book will be commercially published.
