(MATH 5080: Mathematics for Secondary School Teachers)
From the Cornell Department of Mathematics K-12 Education and Outreach program, Dr. Mary Ann Huntley plans and leads a series of four full-day workshops annually for area secondary mathematics teachers, a program begun in 1985. Participants investigate the role of technology in teaching mathematics and explore math history and concepts related to the topics they teach (from www.math.cornell.edu). For more information, contact Dr. Mary Ann Huntley.
+Plus Magazine
+Plus is a free internet magazine which aims to introduce readers to the beauty and the practical applications of mathematics. Plus provides feature articles, which describe applications of math to real-world problems, games, and puzzles; reviews of popular math books and events; a news section, showing how recent news stories were often based on some underlying piece of math that never made it to the newspapers; a puzzle for you to sharpen your wits against; a lucky dip of mathematical curiosities; and opinions on various maths-related topics and news stories.

What is a TI User Group? TI User Groups are for educators interested in sharing information about TI technology use in their classrooms/schools and learning from other educators' thoughts, ideas, approaches, and experiences. Typically User Groups meet once a month for approximately 2 hours and have 5-25 participants at each meeting.
These groups are intended to provide educators with:
+ Opportunities for sharing with individuals in the same geographic area.
+ Support for those new to teaching and/or new to TI technology.
+ A forum to discuss important issues and challenges.
+ A way to stay up-to-date with the latest information on TI technology.
+ Opportunities to get to know T3 Instructors in their area and learn about available professional development.
