Training and Support

The Institute continues working with math teachers in Broward School District, including elementary schools. The Institute began training and supporting math teachers in the Palm Beach School District. Several workshops in GeoGebra have been given at the Florida Council of Teachers of Mathematics annual conference

Development and Sharing

The state of Florida adopted new mathematics standards at the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year. The institute has helped teachers understand and implement the new standards by creating a website that contains links and downloads for GeoGebra separated by grade level.
