Saving a Drowning Swimmer Sandia Hosts Inner-City Math Teachers It's fairly easy to see how math applies to the physics of falling objects. But how about using math to understand secret codes or determine the quickest path to a drowning swimmer? Recently, nine inner-city middle school teach• ers from across the country gathered at the Labs' Center for Computational Engineering (CCE) at ' '-!~''• . ' Sandia, Livermore to explore some interesting (tl' 'l new ways to help their students understand math. Along with scientists, engineers, and education researchers, their purpose was to develop new mathematics curricula based on "hands-on" teach• ing methods. "Many students do not understand the rele• vancy of math in their everyday lives, so they lose interest early," says Bill Wilson of Program Development Dept. 8105. The summer institute -part of the CCE 's Middle School Mathematics Through Applications ... project - was coordinated by Bill and Mike Pendley of Scientific Computihg Dept. 8117, along with the Institute for Research on Learning (IRL) in Palo Alto and the Stanford University School of Education.
