Building Mathematics Momentum in Science Centers

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职业发展计划。这个项目的目标是利用展品和教育项目作为一种工具，在全国的科学中心建立数学存在。参与的科学中心将制定数学倡议，同时与TERC和ASTC合作，创建关于数据、测量、代数、国家标准和游客可访问性等主题的研讨会。创业网站将在加利福尼亚州、佛罗里达州、马萨诸塞州、密苏里州、明尼苏达州、新泽西州、纽约、北卡罗来纳州、俄勒冈州和德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。该项目将出版一本名为《科学中心有希望的数学实践》的出版物，重点介绍将数学纳入博物馆项目的最佳实践。预计在项目期间，参与机构的数量将增加到120个。

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.
