Elementary Mathematics Instructional Improvement Project

该项目为来自田纳西州的30名准备充分的小学教师提供了为期一个月的暑期学院，随后将在学年期间在参与者的学区开展活动。重点放在三个主要领域：几何、问题解决和教学计算。通过将问题解决活动纳入几何专题的研究，以及将计算机调查纳入几何和问题解决活动，这些都在项目中相互联系。计算机语言徽标的图形能力也是在几何主题和问题解决情况之间发展相互作用的媒介。30名参与者由致力于该项目的学区挑选，计划将项目活动落实到参与者所在学区的方案中，以继续该项目的工作，并将开发的知识和技术推广到该学区的其他教师。

The project offers a month long summer institute for 30 well- prepared elementary school teachers from Tennessee which will be followed during the academic year with activities at the participants school districts. The focus is on three main areas: geometry, problem-solving, and instructional computing. These are interconnected in the project by involving problem-solving activities in the study of the geometry topics as well as incorporating computer investigations into the geometry and problem-solving activities. The graphic capability of the computer language LOGO also serves as the vehicle to develop an interplay between the geometry topics and the problem-solving situations. The 30 participants are selected by the school districts that have committed to the project and the plan is to implement the project activities into the programs at the participants' districts to continue the work of the project and extend the knowledge and techniques developed to other teachers in the districts.
