This two-year project seeks to change the way middle school                     teachers think about mathematics.  Two one-semester courses                     for the inservice training of teachers will be developed and                    tested by a software development firm, two institutions of                      higher education, and an educational collaborative in the                       Boston area.  Centered on the use of computers, these courses                   will take advantage of student materials developed with                         previous or current NSF support and will be designed to                         foster the teachers' skills in mathematical inquiry.                            Evaluation will assess the changes in teachers' understanding                   of and attitude towards mathematics, and in their classroom                     practice.                                                                                                                                                       An amount equal to 22% of the NSF award is being contributed                    as cost-sharing by BBN Laboratories, the Commonwealth of                        Massachusetts, Lesley College, the University of                                Massachusetts at Boston, Technical Education Research                           Centers, the Education Collaborative for Greater Boston, and                    Apple Computer.
