"NEW: GK-12" Graduate Students and Teacher Engaging in Mathematical Sciences (G-Teams)

G-TEAMS计划（从事数学科学的研究生和教师）为研究生和教师提供了一个创新和动态的机会，以合作开发新颖，严谨和相关的K-12数学课程材料。该项目由亚利桑那大学数学与教育研究所和数学系运营，建立在这两个单位和图森地区学校之间长期合作的基础上。研究人员来自亚利桑那大学数学研究生项目、应用数学和统计学跨学科项目。他们与高中教师合作开发新课程，如概率、统计和数学建模，在K-8年级促进代数思维的方法，以及促进小学、初中和高中之间过渡的策略。该项目是跨学科的，涉及创新的方法，如教室和应用数学实验室之间的视频会议，或使用计算机模拟和小程序。G-TEAMS的课程和学习对象通过门户网站提供给社区。该项目将STEM学科推广到代表性不足的K-12学生群体，并促进研究员、教师和K-12学生之间的协同关系。研究员学习与不同的受众交流数学思想，实施一系列教学技巧，并增加他们对K-12教育问题的理解。教师熟悉了前沿研究，拓宽了对数学的理解。学生们学会欣赏STEM学科提供的各种各样的可能性。

GK-12 Graduate Students and Teachers Engaging in Mathematical Sciences The G-TEAMS Program (Graduate Students and Teachers Engaging in Mathematical Sciences) provides an innovative and dynamic opportunity for graduate students and teachers to collaborate on the development of novel, rigorous, and relevant material for K-12 mathematics courses. The program, run by the Institute for Mathematics and Education and the Department of Mathematics at the University of Arizona, builds on a long-standing relationship between these two units and schools in the Tucson area. Fellows are recruited from the graduate programs in Mathematics and the interdisciplinary programs in Applied Mathematics and in Statistics at the University of Arizona. They work with high school teachers on the development of new courses, such as probability and statistics and mathematical modeling, on ways to promote algebraic thinking in K-8 grades, and on strategies to facilitate transitions between elementary, middle, and high school. The program is interdisciplinary and involves innovative approaches, such as video conferencing between classrooms and the Applied Mathematics Laboratory, or the use of computer simulations and applets. G-TEAMS lessons and learning objects are made available to the community by means of a web portal.The program promotes STEM disciplines to underrepresented K-12 student populations and fosters a synergetic relationship among fellows, teachers, and K-12 students. Fellows learn to communicate mathematical ideas to diverse audiences, implement a range of teaching techniques, and increase their understanding of K-12 educational issues. Teachers become familiar with cutting-edge research and broaden their understanding of mathematics. Students learn to appreciate the wide variety of possibilities offered by STEM disciplines.
