9453779 Jordon The Science Center of Connecticut will develop, evaluate, and install 57 mathematical exhibit activities in its new 160,000 sq. ft. exhibit facility. These activities will engage visitors in learning how math is an integral part of daily life and a necessary skill in many careers. Eight math topics will be treated: probability and statistics; relative scale; geometry; symmetry; math puzzles; chaos and fractals; numbers, measurements, and calculations; and estimations. The hands-on activities will range from involvement with low-tech to high- tech, computerized activities. The target audience is people nine and up and it will be available to the museums 500,000 annual visitors. The mathematics activities will be distributed throughout the museum and math will serve as a integrating theme for all the museum's exhibits. The topics are aligned with Connecticut s SSI program which focuses on applied mathematics in context of the science disciplines. Within the state, plans are taking shape to link with Connecticut Public Television to broadcast electronic field trips to the museum through Knowledge Network. Nationally, museum staff members will make presentations at both museum and mathematics education meetings to other museum professionals. The concept of thematic integration throughout the museum will be disseminated through the state and the nation. ***

9453779 Jordon 康涅狄格州科学中心将在其新的 160,000 平方英尺展览设施中开发、评估和安装 57 项数学展览活动。 这些活动将使参观者了解数学如何成为日常生活中不可或缺的一部分以及许多职业中的必备技能。 将讨论八个数学主题：概率和统计；相对规模；几何学; 对称;数学难题；混沌和分形；数字、测量和计算；和估计。 实践活动范围从低技术到高科技、计算机化活动。 目标观众是九岁及以上的人，每年将向博物馆 500,000 名游客开放。 数学活动将分布在整个博物馆，数学将作为博物馆所有展品的整合主题。 这些主题与康涅狄格州的 SSI 计划一致，该计划侧重于科学学科背景下的应用数学。 在该州内，正在制定与康涅狄格州公共电视台连接的计划，通过知识网络广播博物馆的电子实地考察。 在全国范围内，博物馆工作人员将在博物馆和数学教育会议上向其他博物馆专业人员进行演讲。整个博物馆的主题整合理念将在国家和民族中传播。 ***
