The UCLA Mathematics Project (UCLAMP) is part of a statewide program that strives to make a positive impact on math teachers and their students. The project’s goal is to enhance the skill sets of K-12 math teachers who can in turn increase their students’ ability to succeed. Based on twenty-five years of experience UCLAMP has developed a program that is helping to make significant differences in the quality of teaching in urban schools.

The UCLA Mathematics Project (UCLAMP) is an organized, caring team of professionals dedicated to providing accessibility and making a positive impact for all teachers and students in mathematics.

UCLAMP believes that teachers develop mathematically powerful students by:

• Balancing basic skills, conceptual understanding, and problem-solving
• Engaging students in tasks with a high level of cognitive demand
• Incorporating literacy into instruction
• Utilizing technology
• Exploration, Discovery, and Inquiry

UCLAMP supports the learning of educators through our Professional Development Programs.

FEATURED UPCOMING PROGRAMS

• NEW TEACHER MATH METHODS INSTITUTE

  June 25-29, 2012
  July 2 & 3, 2012

  This institute is designed for 6-12 teachers with less than three years of experience in teaching mathematics. The institute will provide an overview of curriculum, instruction and assessment as outlined in the California Common Core Standards. Participants will engage in mathematics content that will connect basic skills, conceptual understanding, and problem solving. Read More...
  
  

• COGNITIVELY GUIDED INSTRUCTION (CGI) FOR NON-BEGINNERS

  June 26 - 28, 2012
  9:00am - 3:00pm

  An Institute designed for teachers who seek to deepen their knowledge and understanding of Cognitively Guided Instruction. Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI), based on over 20 years of research, has helped teachers to map out how basic number concepts and skills develop in the early grades. CGI helps teachers understand how children's mathematical ideas develop and provides students an opportunity to build on their own thinking. Read More...
  
  

• COGNITIVELY GUIDED INSTRUCTION (CGI) INSTITUTE

  July 17-19, 2012
  8:30am - 3:30pm

  An Institute designed for K-5 teachers. Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) helps teachers understand how children's mathematical ideas develop and provides students an opportunity to build on their own thinking.  CGI, based on over 20 years of research, has helped teachers to map out how basic number concepts and skills develop in the early grades. Read More...

  
  

• GETTING TO THE CORE

  July 9-20, 2012 8:00am-3:00 pm M-F
  including September 29, 2012 Show Case

  What do the Common Core Standards in Mathematics mean for you? An Institute for Instructional Leaders and Teachers of Mathematics in Grades 6-12. In August 2010, the California State Board of Education approved the California Common Core State Standards in Mathematics (CaCCSS). The content standards, along with the new Standards for Mathematical Practice, will require mathematics teachers to alter their instructional practices to include more critical thinking, conceptual understanding, and problem solving.

• UCLA YOUNG SCHOLARS: YOUNG MATHEMATICIANS

  July 23 - August 10, 2012       12:30pm-3:30pm
  For students entering grades K - 8th      

  The Young Mathematicians' Institute is open to all students regardless of prerequisite skills. The attendees will participate in a three-week course led by experienced teacher-consultants who work for the UCLA Mathematics Project. Students will work independently and collaboratively, combining conceptual understanding with basic skills to solve problems and to think critically in mathematics. This constructivist, activities-based approach to mathematics learning is enriching, motivation, fun and challenging. Read More...
