Focus on Algebra Part III: Exponential Functions is four full days of professional development designed for teachers and workshop leaders who will be providing professional development for teachers in their Regional Collaboratives. Materials provided for each participant include participant handouts, slide presentations for presenting the PD, and a presenter guide. The PD is a function-based approach to teaching algebra, with particular focus on exponential functions using the Algebra I TEKS. During the PD participants will analyze lessons, tasks, and teacher moves and examine the changes to the TEKS that were adopted in the Spring of 2012. Additionally, participants will discuss teaching English Language Learners and how to support students who may struggle in learning algebra. Participants will be able to immediately turn around this PDA for a full 4-day professional development for their teachers.

The Learning and Teaching Geometry (LTG) project (NSF# 0732757) developed and pilot tested well-specified, practice-based PD materials. These materials contain over 50 hours of PD that support the teaching and learning of mathematical similarity (including connections to proportionality and linearity) based on geometric transformations. The materials engage teachers in learning through the use of video cases, in which specific and increasingly complex mathematical concepts are presented within the dynamics of classroom practice.
