Functions and Tranformations: Higher Order Mathematics (FATHOM)

这个为期三年的项目培养了40名5年级和6年级的导师教师和480名合作教师，他们来自K-6年级，教授预代数、几何和数据分析内容，贯穿始终，采用基于探究的方法和替代评估。在加州州立大学-北岭大学/洛杉矶联合学区的这一合作伙伴关系中，特别关注教授占当地人口大多数的少数族裔和有限英语学生的技能。学员在研讨会和后续会议之间使用课堂试验的“三明治”模式(NCTM，1990年鉴)体验寄宿机构、研讨会、周中研讨会和教师领导的服务机会。

This three-year project develops 40 5th and 6th grade mentor teachers and 480 partner teachers from grades K-6 in prealgebra, geometry, and data analysis content with inquiry-based methodology and alternative assessments throughout. In this California State University- Northridge/Los Angeles Unified School District partnership, special attention is given to skills in teaching minority and limited-English students who comprise the majority of the local population. Participants experience residential institutes, workshops, midweek seminars, and teacher-leader inservice opportunities, using the "sandwich" model (NCTM, 1990 Yearbook) of classroom trials between the workshops and followup sessions.
