Welcome to the Bay Area Mathematics Project
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.
NEW! NEW! NEW!
Invitational Summer Institute: Fractions and ELD
July 1 to July 11, 2008 (no session on July 4)
8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Teachers of grades 3 to 7 are invited to join us this summer for an eight-day Institute at Lawrence Hall of Science focused on fractions and decimals. We will address the teaching strategies to support students understanding of rational numbers and include a particular focus for reaching English learners (ELs). The Institute will continue with two Saturday meetings during the academic year.
Fee $750 includes materials and daily lunch
Stipend $500 for full participation in the Institute and attendance at the two Saturday session during 2008-09 academic year.

"Power of the Arts"
Keynote: Pam Lucker, Trena Noval, Ellen Oppenhiemer, and Kelly Rozario
The Power of Art
For the past 10 years Peralta Elementary School has been a model site for arts integration in the Bay Area. Located in North Oakland, the Peralta campus is a testament to the arts program that has become part of the fabric of the schools’ core curriculum. Artists in Residence Trena Noval and Ellen Oppenhiemer, along with teachers Kelly Rozario and Pam Lucker, will present model visual arts and writing curriculum projects which incorporate creative writing, video animation, drawing and environmental installations that are folded into Peralta’s Language Arts, Science and Social Studies curriculum. Peralta is an Alameda County Arts Anchor School and this year was designated a national Arts Active Laboratory School site through a partnership with Harvard’s Project Zero, California College for the Arts, Center for Art and Public Life and Alameda County Office of Education.
Math Workshops:

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.
