What is BAMP?
The Bay Area Mathematics Project is one of the 19 statewide California Mathematics Project (CMP) sites and is situated on the UC Berkeley campus at the Lawrence Hall of Science. BAMP endeavors to enhance the quality of K-12 mathematics education in the Bay Area by increasing teachers' mathematical content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge through summer institutes, workshops, seminars, site-based and district-level work.

Up-Coming Saturday Seminar:
October 18, 2008
“The Hayward Earthquake: Commemorating the 140th Anniversary “
Keynote: Dr. Peggy Hellweg
A Tectonic Time Bomb in our Backyard: The Hayward Fault
Earthquakes are a fact of life in the San Francisco Bay Area and much of the rest of the State of California. On (almost) the 140th anniversary of the 1868 Hayward Earthquake, Peggy Hellweg of the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory will describe tectonic setting of the San Francisco Bay Area, its complex system of faults and why we think the Hayward Fault may be the next to go. She will show new (online) tools for learning about current earthquake activity, such as shaking and community intensity maps. What will be the impact of such an earthquake on the now heavily-urbanized East Bay? Learn about measuring earthquakes, earthquake preparedness, ideas for field trips to explore evidence of the Hayward Fault and the Impending Big One(s)...
Math Workshops:
For Grade Levels K-2
Christine Losq, CLEA Inc., Palo Alto
10-Frame Math Builds Powerful Number sense
Learn how to integrate classroom proven 10-frame models into your daily routines to help children develop powerful number sense and master basic facts. Then learn how classroom proven 10-frame math also helps children understand place value and regrouping. Hands-on materials provided.
For Grade Levels 3-5
Julie McNamara, Graduate School of Education, UC Berkeley
Measuring Ruby: Understanding Fractions through Measurement
Fractional values often result during measurement activities. Learn how to use a measurment model of fractions to support part/ whole understanding.
For Grade Levels 6-8
Harvey Garn, ACCESS, Lawrence Hall of Science
Problem Solving in Algebra: Teacher Intuition vs. Student Performance
Examine a set of algebra problems and evaluate their level of difficulty from a teacher perspective and then see what the research tells us about how students perceive and solve these problems. Discuss implication to classroom practice.
Custom Professional Development
BAMP works with schools and districts to provide mathematics professional development customized to the needs of their faculty. Our work ranges from workshops on hands-on mathematics, mathematics content, and effective implementation of adopted curriculum to intensive coaching partnerships. Please contact us to find out how we can help strengthen mathematics instruction in your school or district!
