Projects:
Contextual Teaching and Learning in MathematicsThis is part of
The Contextual Teaching and Learning Project at UGA. This Project started in the Fall 1998 as
part of a 3-year contract from the U.S. Department of Education to develop a Model of Excellence
for Contextual Teaching and Learning in Preservice Teacher Education. This is a joint project of
the School of Teacher Education and the School of Leadership and Lifelong Learning in the College of
Education.
Teacher Quality Enhancement Plan (P-16)provides four mathematics courses for certified teachers
at the middle grade level who could benefit from additional course
work in mathematics. The four content areas would be Number Theory,
Algebra, Geometry and Measurement, and Probability and Statistics.
The aim is to upgrade the content backgrounds and pedagogical
knowledge of the middle grade mathematics teachers. The courses are
taught in Conyers in Rockdale County. I am the instructor for the
Summer 2000 Number Theory course.
InterMathis a statewide Internet based inservice for middle school mathematics teachers that
focuses on using technology tools in mathematics and increasing the mathematical
knowledge base of the teacher. See also the objectives for InterMath.
Interactive Mathematics Dictionaryis for middle school students, teachers, parents, and
anyone else interested in learning more about mathematical topics
in the middle school curriculum.
