Northwest Mathematics Interaction NWMI Summer Geometry Institute July 30- August 4, 2006

NWMI's SGI PROGRAM

This classic NWMI Geometry week is offered for the twelfth year. Experience mathematically meaningful geometry activities based on

• Polyhedra in many guises
• Origami
• Mirrors and Symmetry
• Spheres
• Geometer's Sketchpad Hands-on Lab
• Geometry with Calculators
• Investigations of many kinds
• Finding the math in the activities
• And much more
• PLUS a rich and relaxed optional program of After-Dinner Math.

The NWMI program is based on real classrooms; instructors are the experienced corps of NWMI high school teachers (with help from mathematicians at UW and elsewhere). You will enjoy a week of high-energy immersion in geometry and sharing with other teachers.

Leave with a thick notebook, models you have made, and the confidence to use these activities in your classroom.

A RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM: LODGING IS INCLUDED IF DESIRED

Since the week is designed as an immersion in a mathematical community, participating teachers may stay on campus Sunday through Thursday nights at no additional charge (for Washington state teachers).. Breakfast and lunch are also included.

TARGETED AUDIENCE

HS and MS Teachers who teach geometry classes or who teach geometry in an integrated course and who want a richer set of tools for addressing the Washington Essential Learnings in geometry and measurement.
