Sponsored by the Rutgers Department of Mathematics and the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS).

As a teacher in a Gear Up school, you are eligible to attend any of the workshops that we offer; the fee for the workshop will be paid by the Gear Up program.

The workshops are organized into three groups, those for teachers of elementary school math, those for teachers of middle school math, and those for high school math teachers. Please explore the website(s) that are appropriate for your situation.

When you complete the registration form, please add the phrase "Gear Up school" next to your school name.
