PCMI Programs Three-week residential Summer Session/Core Program & Cross-Program activities Publication series Mathematics Research Graduate Undergraduate Undergraduate faculty Mathematics Education Secondary Teachers International Seminar Math Education Research

Cross-Program Activities International Seminar/SSTP participants Research mathematicians conduct discussion groups with SSTP participants Pizza and Problem Solving Clay Institute Lectures SSTP Working Group takes course for undergraduate math faculty

PCMI: Secondary School Teachers Program (SSTP) Three Week Summer Session for Secondary Teachers MSP PD 3 : PCMI and Districts Partner to Design Professional Development Professional Development Outreach Groups (PDO) University of Minnesota San Jose State University Harvey Mudd College St.Peters College, NJ University of Washington University of Utah Math for America Utah State University

SSTP 55 to 60 Secondary Teachers from PD3, PDO and at large - selected through an application process; diversity of age, experience, culture E-tables with PD3 sites Groups of 5-6 per table, microphones, norms

Deepen knowledge of mathematics PCMI daily 2 hour course using materials prepared by EDC team Problem based approach using the Ross model Taught by former and current classroom teachers Work done collaboratively in groups consisting of 6th grade to calculus teachers

Reflect on Practice Use artifacts of practice to ground discussion Work together to discuss and design problems and lessons Consider research related to teaching and learning mathematics

Working Groups Investigating Geometry Learning from Teaching Cases Visualizing Functions Reasoning from Data and Chance Implementing Lesson Study Exploring Discrete Mathematics Produce a resource for colleagues

Content examples 2008: From Algebra to Geometry investigates number theory, algebraic geometry, and analytic geometry as a springboard into the structure of different algebraic systems and geometric curves. (Algebraic Geometry)From Algebra to Geometry 2007: Developing Mathematics: Probability Through Algebra explores and makes connections among questions about randomness, binomial expansion and the probability that two positive integers, chosen at random, have no common factor. (Statistical Mechanics)Developing Mathematics: Probability Through Algebra 2006: Some Applications of Geometric Thinking looks at basic geometric habits of mind like continuous change and things that don't change, and how these apply to a wide variety of situations. (Topology) mathforum.org/pcmi/Some Applications of Geometric Thinking

Components of the course Content related to high school math but not directly in the curriculum, emphasizing connections to a central math concept Instruction facilitated and managed not lecture Context working in groups facilitated by table leaders (teachers and mathematicians)

Beyond PCMI PDO groups New Jersey Shore Summer Program PD3 academic year activities PDO leaders Courses at Texas State, Harvey Mudd, University of Washington Other PD providers PROM/SE MSP Summer Math Academy, Honduras Summer Grad Class

Instruction: Reaching all Organization of materials Important stuff, neat stuff, tough stuff Training and at least weekly reflection for table leaders Careful selection and regular rotation of groups matching both table leaders’ strengths and participants’ needs Instructors key in supporting participants: listen, respond, highlight interesting strategies and struggles

Context for learning: a community 1)The table design and rotating assignments encouraged participants to meet and work with each other 2)The instructors and the table leaders referred participants to others working on the same questions/problems (exit survey) 3)Residence math nights 4)PD3 groups work on problems together sometimes led by mathematicians, sometimes by one of the group

Impact on teachers Peg Cagle Lawrence Gifted Magnet Los Angeles Public Schools Sendhil Revuluri Bronx Academy of Letters New York City Schools

Impact on teachers Transformed practice: Learned to focus on student learning instead of teaching Deepened own mathematical underpinnings New level of understanding Make different choices about what and how to teach - more informed by the mathematics Problems to take back to students- math does not have an easy entry point; gives a story to help transition to the lesson

Impact on teachers Building a community - face to face interaction with mathematicians, other teachers and during academic year Opportunity for leadership - motivate remaining in classroom, seeing what is possible in PCMI context Use examples that “go somewhere” rather than random, math makes sense Seeing it done give confidence to do it oneself Increased need to train students to be reflective learners

Impact on teachers Model for students and colleagues - math is fun and interesting to do and worth spending time on it!
