NWMI Summer Institute: Algebra and the Common Core
July 30 - August 3, 2012

ALGEBRA & the Common Core Content

A successful transition from more elementary math to algebra is a critical point in a student's mathematical education. In the current Washington Math Standards and the Common Core Math Standards. Students in eighth grade and earlier begin to learn about algebra concepts and then Algebra 1 sets the stage for advanced math courses. The NWMI Summer Algebra Institute based on engaging math tasks developed by two Washington Math Science Partnership projects: MCSP and MC3. Among other things, participants will explore

How the Common Core Progression Document follows proportional reasoning from early middel school into linear equations in algebra and beyond.
Tasks that engage new language in the Common Core, e.g., "Seeing Structure in Expressions".
The Functions Progression from eighth grade into high school.
The eight Standards for Mathematical Practice of CCSS.

PLUS a rich and relaxed optional program of After-Dinner Math.

FOR WHOM?

HS and MS Teachers who teach algebra. Any teachers who want a richer set of tools for addressing the geometry and measurement in the Math Standards of Washington and the Common Core.

DEADLINES, FEES

Registration fee $300 (includes lunches but no lodging). Registration fee $525 with lodging (Sunday night until Friday morning, including breakfast and lunch). Registrations will be accepted until the courses are full, but there is a late fee of $25 after June 25. Room reservations can be requested after June 25 but rooms may not be available.
