Follow-up Workshop: 3/30/17

We will be hosting a follow-up workshop for all previous PMI summer workshop participants on Thursday, March 30, 2017 at the University Park campus.  Registration is at the end of this post.

Andrew Baxter and Fran Arbaugh will be running the session.  We will be discussing the following:

  • Impacts that PMI has had on your students and your colleagues.
  • Mathematical discussion on geometry in the elementary grades, and the “wall” in 4th grade.
  • Pedagogy discussion from Principles to Actions.

The workshop will run 10am-3pm, with breakfast provided started at 9am and a working lunch.

If you will be unable to attend in person but would be interested in teleconferencing, contact Andrew (baxter@math.psu.edu).  If there is sufficient interest we can set something up.
