The Texas Mathworks Teacher Institute provides teachers with the mathematical background and training needed to prepare all students for success in algebra. This teacher training program is designed to:

• prepare teachers to offer their own two-week summer math camp for middle school students in their school district using the Texas State Mathworks model, which will prepare all students for success in algebra

• enable teachers to integrate hands-on pre-algebra activities, carefully aligned to the TEKS, into the curriculum train teachers to successfully begin teaching algebra at the 6th and 7th grade levels

• develop vertical teams of teachers (grades 3 - 8) to prepare students for success in algebra and more advanced mathematics courses
