This one-year project seeks to address the high failure rate of high            school students, especially minority students, in algebra.  Twenty-five         teachers of middle school mathematics in the Baton Rouge area will              participate in a six-week summer workshop that includes instruction in          the subject matter of algebra and its applications, as well as an               examination of the role of algebra in the curriculum and of appropriate         methods of teaching algebra in the middle school.  During the academic          year, project staff will visit the participants' classrooms and join            them in offering workshops for other teachers.  The evaluation will             assess changes in the participants' knowledge of algebra and pedagogy in        the failure rate of their students.                                                                                                                             The University and the school districts are contributing as cost-sharing        an amount equal to 13% of the NSF award.
