The AMMASING Program and Extended Math Camp

AMMASING (Appalachian: Merging Mathematics and Science for Intentional Natural Gains) is a partnership between the Appalachian State University Department of Mathematical Sciences, ASU Math Camp, and Summer Ventures. The program that brings together grade 8-12 teachers and students to explore mathematics and the work of teaching. Participants will engage in an exciting and stimulating summer workshop (July 9-12, 2012), which will serve as a launch point for a year-long program of mathematical investigations and collaboration. In addition, the program includes opportunities to participate in the North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics Annual Conference (the largest professional meeting of math teachers in the state, and one of the largest in the country) and be supported in a variety of endeavors.
