Infusing Mathematics into Science and Technology at the Middle School Level

This session will present activities that contributed to an instructional paradigm for infusing mathematics into science and technology. These were (1) the development of a math infusion lesson planning template; (2) a yearlong professional development and curriculum revision activity; and (3) a pilot study of the efficacy and effectiveness of the math infusion model. This work is part of a National Science Foundation funded MSP project to improve middle school mathematics teaching and student performance.
