FERMAT is a project funded by the NSF Division of Graduate Education under the GK-12 program. The project unites the efforts of mathematics faculty from California State University Northridge with educators from Los Angeles Unified School District, Local District 1, to place graduate mathematics students as Fellows in two high schools and three middle schools in the district. Fellows construct their lessons in a way that will allow students to experience the mathematical process of conjecture, experimentation, and proof. For
the first time, students see mathematics as an area of ongoing learning and research where critical thinking and mastery of basic skills is essential.
The fellows have generated a number of excellent lessons. Check it out
