An Early Mathematics Advising Program for High School Juniors in Pennsylvania

该项目将朝着执行 数学家提出的建议 美国科学协会在以前的国家科学 基金会（NSF）资助的项目。 协会 建议全国的学校建立预测 数学测试和咨询项目， 即将升入大学的高三学生 学校 这项测试的目的是允许这样的 高年级的学生可以进一步发展 数学是必要的，以尽量减少需要 大学数学补习班。 在这 数学系的项目成员， 宾夕法尼亚州三所大学的管理人员将 与宾夕法尼亚州西部的十所高中合作， 鼓励建立此类检测和咨询机构 程序. 在这些高中的经历将 指导整个联合国系统的进一步执行工作， 状态 合作伙伴的成本分摊将占NSF的230% 融资.//

This project will move towards implementation of the recommendations developed by the Mathematical Association Of America in a previous National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project. The Association recommends that schools nationwide establish prognostic testing and counseling programs in mathematics for college-bound students in the junior year of high school. The purpose of this testing is to allow such students in their senior year to take whatever further mathematics is necessary to minimize the need for remedial mathematics courses in college. In this project members of the mathematics faculties and administrations at three Pennsylvania universities will work with ten high schools in western Pennsylvania to encourage institution of such testing and counseling programs. The experience in these high schools will serve to guide further implementation throughout the state. Cost sharing by the partners will total 230% of the NSF funding.//
