Activities completed Workshop on GeoGebra by Markus H. (April

11-12, 2008. About 20 participants: teachers of grades 7-12 and university faculty. Six participants take a one-unit course by learning more about resources in Wiki and designing instructional materials, perfecting each others’ work.)

One Master’s Project about teaching a unit of high school geometry with GeoGebra

Activities in progress Proposals were submitted for conference

presentations by three speakers at the California Mathematics Council’s Southern and Northern Section conferences (Palm Springs, November, 2008 and Asilomar, December, 2008).

We will use GeoGebra in two summer courses (algebra and geometry) for prospective high school teachers (impact on about 30 teachers).

Plans to promote GeoGebra in: California Mathematics Project (multi-million dollar

per year project, funded by the State of California since 1980’s) for teacher leadership and professional development.

Lesson Study projects through California Math and Science Partnerships

Lesson Study projects with Sri Lankan and Hungarian teachers

Teacher preparation programs in the California State University system

Plans to work on:

Developing interactive materials for teaching about non-Euclidean geometries algebra and geometry for prospective

middle school teachers

Using GeoGebra on professional development institutes for in-service teachers
