NJ STEM Meeting

The 2024 NJ STEM Innovation Fellowship program will form a Professional Learning Community (PLC) that includes elementary and middle school teachers as well as university faculty members. The PLC will learn to implement a design innovation that develops foundational through advanced understanding of the mathematical concepts of equality and equivalence. The innovation uses a familiar and ancient technology – the balance scale – as a powerful learning tool that students can think with as they explore and come to understand increasingly complex ideas. Because the PLC includes math and science educators at all levels, this innovation will support learning from a child’s earliest mathematical explorations through college graduation and into the workforce.
