TERC and ASTC will collaborate with thirteen science and technology centers around the country to create and implement a professional development program for science center staff. The goal of this project is to use exhibits and educational programs as a vehicle for building a presence for mathematics in science centers nationwide. The participating science centers will develop mathematics initiatives while working with TERC and ASTC to create workshops on topics such as data, measurement, algebra, national standards and visitor accessibility. Start-up sites will create training networks in California, Florida, Massachusetts, Missouri, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon and Texas. Workshops will be offered on-line and also at local and national conferences. The project will produce a publication entitled "Promising Math Practices in Science Centers" that will highlight best practices for the incorporation of mathematics into museum programs. It is anticipated that the number of participating institutions will increase to 120 during the life of the project.

TERC和ASTC将与全国13个科学技术中心合作，为科学中心工作人员创建和实施专业发展计划。 该项目的目标是利用展览和教育计划作为在全国科学中心建立数学存在的工具。 参与的科学中心将制定数学计划，同时与TERC和ASTC合作，就数据，测量，代数，国家标准和访问者可访问性等主题创建研讨会。 初创企业将在加州、佛罗里达、马萨诸塞州、密苏里州、明尼苏达州、新泽西、纽约、北卡罗来纳州、俄勒冈州和得克萨斯州建立培训网络。 将在网上以及在地方和国家会议上举办讲习班。 该项目将出版一份题为“科学中心有前途的数学实践”的出版物，突出将数学纳入博物馆计划的最佳做法。 预计在项目期间，参与机构的数目将增加到120个。
