The Creating Momentum through Communicating Mathematics GK-12 project will enrich the mathematical experiences of graduate student Fellows from San Francisco State University, as well as teachers and students from four San Francisco public schools. A key goal is to strengthen Fellows' communication, teaching, outreach, and teamwork skills by immersing them in mathematics classrooms and the San Francisco Math Circle (an after-school program). A second key goal is to make mathematics, especially algebra, and its career connections more relevant and explicit for 6-12 grade teachers and students. The project will enhance the preparation of Fellows for Ph.D. programs, particularly among underrepresented minorities. The project contributes to meeting societal demand for mathematicians who can explain their work and its significance, not only to each other, but to the general public. By developing mathematics seminars focused on communicating research, the model provides innovative strategies for invigorating mathematics education in graduate school. Moreover, it serves middle and high schools needs for making algebra more accessible and relevant.Our project will integrate graduate research with math teaching at middle and high schools. It will strengthen the recruitment of underrepresented minorities into our M.A. program, as well as their preparation for and entry into Ph.D. programs. Our project will result in institutionalization of two new courses. By working with the California State Universities and with the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, broad dissemination of the project's partnership model involving graduate students, teachers, mathematicians, and 6-12 grade students will be ensured.

通过交流数学创造动力GK-12项目将丰富来自旧金山弗朗西斯科州立大学研究生研究员以及来自旧金山弗朗西斯科四所公立学校的教师和学生的数学经验。 一个关键目标是加强研究员的沟通，教学，推广和团队合作技能，让他们沉浸在数学教室和旧金山弗朗西斯科数学圈（课后计划）。第二个关键目标是使数学，特别是代数，及其职业联系更加相关和明确的6-12年级的教师和学生。该项目将加强研究员攻读博士学位的准备工作。项目，特别是针对代表性不足的少数族裔。该项目有助于满足社会对数学家的需求，这些数学家不仅可以相互解释他们的工作及其意义，而且可以向公众解释。通过开展以交流研究为重点的数学研讨会，该模式为振兴研究生院数学教育提供了创新策略。此外，它服务于初中和高中的需要，使代数更容易和相关。我们的项目将结合研究生的研究与初中和高中的数学教学。它将加强招聘代表性不足的少数民族进入我们的硕士。计划，以及他们的准备和进入博士学位。程序.我们的项目将使两门新课程制度化。通过与加州州立大学和数学科学研究所合作，将确保广泛传播该项目涉及研究生、教师、数学家和6-12年级学生的伙伴关系模式。
