On the Cusp

Abstract

During his monthly visits Dr. Pangalos used the topic of waves to demonstrate a learning model that promoted independent student inquiry and problem solving. In addition to Adopt-A-Professor the Englewood Cliffs Everyday Mathematics Program has benefited from the expertise of CUSP mathematics Outreach Team leader Nancy Schultz and Amy Fabrikant-Eagan. Mrs. Schultz conducted a Connected Mathematics and Writers Workshop to train teachers to combine written expression and mathematics application. This program stimulates student creativity in the quest for solutions to problems and the written description of the process.
