Building on Strengths: Stimulating Cooperation Among Mathematicians and Mathematics Educators

[9554608] Cuoco这个项目增加了数学家、数学教育者和高中教师之间关于高中数学在为学生在技术社会的生活和职业生涯做好准备中的作用的有意义的对话。一个主要的焦点是经常被认为是培养下一代工程师、科学家和数学家与提供为所有学生准备公民身份和职业所需的数学教育之间的二分法。对话是通过在几个数学专业组织的新闻出版物中发表的一系列文章和采访、华盛顿特区地区的邀请会议以及数学专业组织会议的后续会议来进行的。

9554608 Cuoco This project is increasing meaningful dialogue among research mathematicians, mathematics educators, and high school teachers concerning the role of high school mathematics in preparing students for life in a technological society and for careers. A primary focus is what is often perceived to be a dichotomy between preparing the next generation of engineers, scientists, and mathematicians and providing the mathematics education needed to prepare all students for citizenship and for careers. Dialogue is taking place through an initial series of articles and interviews in the news publications of several of the mathematics professional organizations an invitational conference in the Washington, DC area, and follow-up sessions at meetings of the mathematics professional organizations.
