Abstract: |
We will describe two mathematics content courses at the Harvard Extension school for in-service high school teachers. We will begin by giving an overview of the Extension school's program for in- service high school mathematics teachers, and then describe two courses. The first course is a course on geometry, and is being taught in the spirit of the Core Plus and Connected Mathematics Project curricula. The second course is a probability and combinatorics course, and is being taught via the Moore Method. We will discuss the rationale for deciding to teach with these approaches, a specific description of these approaches, and the results of some informal evaluation for these two teaching approaches. |
