MATH 5080: Mathematics for Secondary School Teachers
(aka "Saturday Workshops for Teachers")
Course Overview
Since 1985, during each academic year the Cornell Mathematics
Department has offered a series of four full-day workshops for secondary
mathematics teachers. Other
people who are interested in issues related to the teaching and learning of
secondary mathematics (e.g., mathematics pre-service teachers, mathematics
undergraduate and graduate students, and mathematicians) are also welcome to
attend. During workshop sessions participants examine principles underlying
the content of the secondary school mathematics curriculum, including connections
with the history of mathematics, technology, and mathematics education research.
Participation at one workshop is not prerequisite to attending another.
Registration, Credit, and Costs
There
are two options for receiving credit for MATH 5080:
- Teachers may receive 1 Cornell University graduate credit for attending
3 of the 4 workshops offered during an academic year. This
option entails registering for the course by paying
