THE NWMI PROGRAM

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

The NWMI program is based on real classrooms; instructors are the experienced corps of NWMI high school teachers (with help from mathematicians at UW, Whatcom Community College and Seattle University). 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

Since the week is designed as an immersion in a mathematical community, participating teachers are encouraged to stay on campus Sunday through Thursday nights at no additional cost. Breakfast and lunch are also included.

While NWMI realizes that staying on campus may be impractical for some teachers, we feel that there are many benefits to getting away for a week of reflection, even if you live nearby. If you have a long commute, we encourage you to spend time with geometry rather than traffic.

TARGETED AUDIENCE

HS and MS Teachers who teach geometry classes or who wish to include geometry in any class.
