This project seeks to integrate real-world applications and mathematical modeling into the secondary mathematics curriculum. To these ends, 30 well-prepared high school mathematics teachers from around the State of New York will participate in two successive summer, residential four-week institutes to be held at SUNY in Brockton. In these institutes participates will: (1) survey and examine available, exemplary classroom materials on applications and modeling; (2) study the underlying mathematical ideas and principles; (3) learn directly from industrial users of mathematics; and (4) explore appropriate uses of graphing calculators and microcomputers. Participants will be chosen in five "teams" of six -- each team representing a region of New York State. During the first summer -- in addition to their academic studies -- these teams of teachers will also prepare their own lessons and units involving applications and modeling, which they will pilot in their own classrooms during the succeeding academic year. The institutes will also include sessions on staff development to help prepare the participating teachers to conduct in-service workshops in their local schools and, in the second academic year, throughout their respective regions. Support by project staff for all these activities will include at least two site visits to each teacher's classroom, as well as to periodic regional meetings of the teams. Cost sharing represents 58% of the total NSF contribution.

该项目旨在将现实世界的应用和数学建模整合到中学数学课程中。 为此，来自纽约州各地的 30 名准备充分的高中数学教师将参加在纽约州立大学布罗克顿分校举办的连续两场为期四周的夏季住宿课程。 在这些机构中，参与者将：（1）调查和检查有关应用和建模的可用示范性课堂材料； （2）研究底层的数学思想和原理； (3)直接向工业用户学习数学； (4) 探索图形计算器和微型计算机的适当用途。 参与者将被分成五个“小组”，每组六人，每个小组代表纽约州的一个地区。 在第一个夏天，除了学术研究之外，这些教师团队还将准备自己的课程和涉及应用和建模的单元，并在接下来的学年在自己的课堂上进行试点。 这些机构还将举办有关员工发展的会议，以帮助参与的教师做好准备，以便在当地学校以及第二学年在各自地区举办在职研讨会。 项目工作人员对所有这些活动的支持将包括至少两次实地考察每位教师的教室，以及定期召开区域团队会议。 费用分摊占 NSF 捐款总额的 58%。
