The Leadership
Program in Discrete Mathematics features contemporary topics in mathematics
that can be used in K-12 classrooms. Program participants will learn about
discrete mathematics and review and prepare materials that they can use to
introduce these topics in their classes.
In the summer of
2008, three new institutes for K-8 teachers will be conducted two in
The program is
structured to encourage active participation. Those who attend will be
involved directly in the learning process through use of workshop groups,
participant presentations and discussions, and problem-solving sessions.
Previous program participants will report on their classroom experiences and
share instructional materials they have prepared and used successfully. The
program will prepare teachers to introduce discrete mathematics into the
classroom and the curriculum. Participants will be expected to develop
instructional materials for their own use and for use by other teachers, and
to present workshops on institute topics in their schools and districts.
Who Sponsors The Institutes?
The Leadership Program in Discrete Mathematics is sponsored by the
Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS) and
Joseph G. Rosenstein, director
Janice C. Kowalczyk, associate director
