Welcome to Akron Math Community Web site!

The Akron Math Community site is dedicated to providing mathematical, instructional, and web resources to teachers, administrators, parents, and students everywhere and, in particular, in the greater Akron area. The site is still in its infancy. Please check it periodically as we build what we hope to be a valuable and useful resource.

Mission Statement: The interplay of mathematical content knowledge, inquiry-based methodology, multiple forms of assessment, and integration of technology in the teaching-learning environment, envisioned by the authors of the NCTM Curriculum and Evaluation Standards [NCTM, 1989], has not yet materialized. The AMC project is designed to further these goals in the Akron and Summit County Schools by:

bulletExposing teachers to the interplay between rich mathematical content and the integration of technology in the teaching-learning process.
bulletUsing this web site as a tool for enhancing the teaching and learning process.
bulletUsing the web site to create a community of learners in mathematics.

Contact Person: Project leader is Dr. Antonio Quesada.
 
Supported by grants from: 

bulletThe University of Akron
bulletOhio Board of Regents Eisenhower Grants
bulletThe Knight Foundation
bulletThe Summit Education Initiative
bulletTexas Instruments
