PROJECT CONNECT

这个为期两年的项目将帮助80名幼儿（K-2） 在新的四个以少数民族为主的学区， 约克城。教师将学习如何使用计算机技术， 支持数学概念的理解，通过 基于探究的问题解决模型。研讨会将侧重于 分数，图形，解决问题，几何，变量，和 软件计算机的重点将主要放在使用标志 引入数学思想。教师将制定一套 关于“难学难教”主题的模块， 从K级到2级 在项目的第一年，一系列 的学年研讨会将随后为期2周的夏季 院在第二年，广泛的课堂随访是 计划，以及重复的讲习班系列和 培养第二批教师队伍。 费用分摊按NSF奖励的35%提供。

This two-year project will assist 80 early childhood (K-2) teachers in four predominantly minority school districts in New York City. Teachers will learn how to use computer technology to support the understanding of mathematical concepts through inquiry-based problem solving models. Workshops will focus on fractions, graphing, problem solving, geometry, variables, and software. Computer emphasis will be primarily on the use of Logo to introduce mathematical ideas. Teachers will develop a set of modules on topics which are "difficult to learn and teach" in grades K through 2. In the first year of the project, a series of academic year workshops will be followed by a 2-week summer institute. In the second year, extensive in-class followup is planned, as well as a repeat of the workshop series and the formation of a second cadre of teachers. Cost sharing is provided at the rate of 35% of the NSF award.
