Dear Site Visitor,

We are excited about sharing information and recommendations gathered from our two years of experience planning and working with teachers in the Science and Mathematics Institute.

This web site contains:

  1. a variety of resources, including science/mathematics literature recommendations, lists of measurement tools, and classroom activities;
  2. information about designing a professional development institute for teachers who want to know more about teaching measurement, estimation, and judgment of reasonableness;
  3. ideas and suggestions for instructional adaptations to encourage the success of all populations of students; and the
  4. Science and Mathematics Institute 2000-2001 Online Workshop.

You will have the opportunity to explore concept-building activities for both teachers and students throughout the Science and Mathematics Institute Web Site. We welcome you!
