MATHmaniaCS

MATHmaniaCS: as ubiquitous computing and embedded systems technologies break addition barriers, even everyday and commonplace activity will involve interacting with a computing device. Few people understand and so little of the curricula address the fundamental principles such as data, information, process, algorithm, logic, relation, and in general, the discrete mathematics of finite objects. Two one-week workshops are aimed at teachers of grades 1-6 and 7-12 and focus on fun, hands-on exploratory experiences that may be adapted to a range of grade levels and are indexed to fit the NCTM standards and naturally augment teacher's math curriculum. The course does not involve the use of computers or programming but helps teachers to understand and to teach some of the science that underlies the everyday use of computers and the types of puzzle-solving activities that comprise current research in discrete mathematics and computer science.
