COURSES FOR TEACHERS

MATH & COMPUTATIONAL MODULES FOR TEACHERS

5-6 hours per module

The activities in our math modules have been classroom-tested in several elementary schools, in Canada and in Brazil, and in teacher education settings, over a period of several years.

Flex your imagination, experience the pleasure of surprise and insight, and see math in fresh light! Add to your math knowledge. Use with your students to extend their math thinking. Enhance your resume with a Certificate of Completion from the Fields Institute.

STEAM-3D MAKER MODULES FOR TEACHERS

20-25 hours per module

These Modules guide those interested in digital making in education through several topics including e-textiles, 3D printing, e-circuits, coding, and the creation of digital texts of various kinds. Anyone can access these modules and work through them at his/her own pace.
