The Department of Mathematics at the College Park campus of the University of Maryland (UMD) is pleased to announce the second Maryland Mathematics Institute (MMI), a week-long summer course for secondary school mathematics teachers. The MMI will consist of presentations and discussions that are designed to be stimulating, accessible and useful for teaching.
Basic information:
Day and Half-Day Interactive Presentations by University of Maryland Faculty:
We intend to get the software packages Geometer's Sketchpad and Fathom onto the personal computers of teachers who do not have the software, for effective hands-on instruction at the MMI and use in the future.
Also: Discussions on in-school topics of interest to teachers.
Prerequisites. The segments will be most useful for teachers with a basic foundation in algebra, and in some cases as indicated by the title geometry or probability/statistics. We offer 5-week summer courses for high school teachers , beginning the week after the MMI, which are more appropriate for training in the basic foundations.
Here are more details on the vision of the Mathematics Department of the University of Maryland, College Park, with respect to the Maryland Mathematics Institute:
The Department envisions the MMI as an annual one-week, two-credit summer course featuring several College Park faculty. The aim is to provide high school mathematics teachers with interesting and enjoyable mathematics relevant to teaching high school students, and to communicate to the teachers the pleasure and relevance of mathematics. The topics entailed in the MMI will go beyond the standard courses preparatory for teaching high school mathematics.
The Department also aims to build communication between College Park faculty (primarily from the Mathematics Department but also from Mathematics Education) and high school teachers, and to provide high school mathematics teachers a setting to learn from each other and enhance their own community.

In Summer 2011, we aim to offer MATH 484 (Geometry for High School Teachers) and MATH486 (Calculus for High School Teachers), provided there is sufficient interest (typically about 10 students are needed).
