A Network to Increase the Involvement of Mathematicians in Pre-college Education

该项目的目标是开发一个网络，以增加和促进数学家参与改善大学前教育的计划，并扩大数学家和数学教育工作者之间的交流。该网络的实施将分三个阶段进行。第一阶段将包括在1988年夏天举办一次讲习班，以便在一直在外地工作的人和刚开始工作的人之间建立联系。第二阶段将包括建立一个网络，在开发新项目的过程中为人们提供支助。网络活动将包括咨询服务、一个项目数据库、一个材料资源交换中心、出版讲习班会议记录和一份通讯。最后，将根据第一期讲习班的模式举办区域讲习班，以便接触到更多的数学家。

The goal of this project is to develop a network to increase and facilitate the participation of mathematicians in programs for the improvement of pre-college education and expand communication between mathematicians and mathematics educators. Implementation of the network will take place in three stages. The first stage will consist of a workshop in the summer of l988 to establish contacts between people who have been working in the field and those who are just beginning. The second stage will include the establishment of a network that will provide support for people in the process of developing new projects. Network activities will include consultation services, a project databank, a materials resource clearinghouse, the publication of workshop proceedings and a newsletter. Finally regional workshops building on the model of the first workshop will be held so that many more mathematicians will be reached.
