UCDMP 2009 SUMMER INSTITUTES

•The Development of Algebraic Thinking & Reasoning:
Smoothing the Transition from Arithmetic to Algebra
A Summer Institute for teachers of grades 3-7

With the ever increasing emphasis and attention on increasing student success in Algebra 1, it is more critical than ever that elementary and middle school students develop the algebraic reasoning and thinking skills they need to be successful in higher levels of mathematics. This institute will explore strategies and techniques that promote algebraic thinking and reasoning while at the same time supporting grade level standards in number sense, algebra and functions, and geometry.

Two sessions will be offered. One will be held at the University of California, Davis. The other will be held at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, California. Use the links below to register for one of the two sessions being offered.
