Bootstrap: Algebra 1 & 2 Course Information Explore new ways to teach Algebra concepts using meaningful, real-world data. This five-day workshop series will equip educators with the ability to implement module-based math lessons that capitalize on the modern digital tools that computer science offers to support effective and efficient teaching and learning. Check out this workshop if you are a math or computer science educator. Use only the materials that work for you! These materials are designed for Algebra 1 or 2 teachers looking to add a project-based approach to their existing practice. In a few class periods, students will have learned all of the programming they need to explore quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, and periodic relationships in data. When Algebra 2 content is applied and motivated by concepts from Data Science, schools get the best of both - all in the same class. This is an awesome opportunity to dive into curriculum resources, enhance existing curriculum with data science, and learn best practices with educators from across the region. Participants will have access to FREE CURRICULUM RESOURCES to implement in the 2026-27 academic school year. More information about Bootstrap workshops. |
