This three-year project seeks to improve the teaching of geometry in kindergarten through grade 8 by increasing the quantity and quality of the geometry that is taught. Each summer, forty teachers from the Baltimore area will participate in a four-week workshop that integrates instruction in mathematical content and methodology, especially the use of manipulatives and educational software. Follow-up activities include four meetings during the academic year and visits by the project staff to the participants' classrooms. The evaluation will assess the project's effect on the participants' knowledge of and attitudes towards geometry and on their teaching practices. The emphasis on manipulative activities and concrete applications, as well as the focus on lower grade levels, makes this project especially beneficial for teachers of minority students. The project represents a collaborative effort by a university research mathematician, an independent school, and the Baltimore Public Schools. A majority of the participants will be teachers from schools with large minority enrollments. The Abell Foundation and the Baltimore Public Schools are contributing in cost-sharing an amount equal to 19% of the NSF award.

这个为期三年的项目旨在改善几何教学， 从幼儿园到八年级，提高 所教的几何学 每年夏天，四十名教师从 巴尔的摩地区将参加为期四周的研讨会， 数学内容和方法的教学，特别是使用 操纵和教育软件。 后续活动包括 学年期间举行四次会议，项目工作人员进行访问 到参与者的教室。 评价将评估 项目对参与者的知识和态度的影响 几何学及其教学实践。 强调操作活动和具体应用， 以及对低年级水平的关注，使得这个项目特别 有利于少数民族学生的教师。 该项目代表了一个 一位大学研究数学家的合作努力， 独立学校和巴尔的摩公立学校。 大多数 参加者将是来自少数族裔人数较多的学校的教师。 登记人数。 阿贝尔基金会和巴尔的摩公立学校都在捐款 在成本分摊金额相当于19%的NSF奖。
