The availability of computers, calculators, and manipulatives has raised various questions about the impact of these technologies on the mathematical content and instructional methodology that are related to the mathematics curricula at the elementary school level. The purpose of this project is to extend the work of the proposer and her colleagues who have, with previous support from the National Science Foundation, developed a future-oriented mathematics curriculum for grades K-6 along with a teacher inservice outline. The work in this project is to conduct intensive inservice workshops for about forty teachers at the middle school level who have been designated as master teachers by their school districts. The teachers work within the framework of their present teaching situation, including use of curriculum guides and textbooks, to infuse as appropriate the instructional materials and methods of the project. The workshops will be videotaped and analyzed by the teachers and the project staff. The master teachers will work with the project staff to develop inservice models that are appropriate to their districts. During the year the master teachers will experiment with the instructional methods in their classrooms and prepare to conduct their own workshops for about twenty teachers each in their districts during the year and the following summer, thereby effecting upwards of 800 teachers with this effort. Products to come from this project are videotapes of the inservice workshops on the use of computers, calculators and manipulatives in the teaching of mathematics at the middle school level; evaluations and reports by master teachers on how to modernize an existing curriculum; and documentation on how the materials that were developed under a previous project were implemented in this experiment. The proposer has a long and distinguised record in mathematics curriculum development, preservice and inservice teacher education. In addition, she has established a model and highly functional mathematics laboratory that has serviced the schools and colleges in her region. She has a reputation for accomplishing excellent results from cost effective projects.

计算机、计算器和教具的可用性引发了关于这些技术对小学数学课程相关的数学内容和教学方法的影响的各种问题。这个项目的目的是扩展提案人和她的同事们的工作，他们之前在国家科学基金会的支持下，开发了面向未来的K-6年级数学课程以及在职教师大纲。该项目的工作是为大约40名被学区指定为高级教师的中学教师举办密集的在职讲习班。教师在他们目前的教学情况框架内工作，包括使用课程指南和教科书，酌情注入项目的教学材料和方法。教师和项目人员将对讲习班进行录像和分析。主教师将与计划人员合作，发展适合他们地区的在职模式。在这一年中，教师们将在他们的课堂上试验教学方法，并准备在这一年和接下来的夏天在他们的地区为大约20名教师举办他们自己的讲习班，从而影响800多名教师。这个项目的产品是关于在中学数学教学中使用计算机、计算器和教具的在职讲习班的录像带；高级教师对现有课程如何实现现代化的评估和报告；还有关于在之前的项目中开发的材料如何在这个实验中应用的文档。申请人在数学课程开发，职前和在职教师教育方面有着长期而杰出的记录。此外，她还建立了一个模型和功能强大的数学实验室，为她所在地区的中小学和大学提供服务。她以在成本效益高的项目中取得优异成绩而闻名。
