K-12 Students

The Mathematics Department is engaged in a broad spectrum of activities with kindergarten through 12^th-grade students and their teachers. The department holds an annual high school mathematics competition for schools in western Pennsylvania. The Adelante Project gives high school students of Hispanic background an opportunity to experience college life. The Center for Statistics Education in Pennsylvania provides professional development for K-12 teachers throughout the state. The SPIRAL project trains science and mathematics K-12 teachers, K-12 administrators and future teachers in interdisciplinary content and technology with inquiry and collaborative-based teaching strategies. The IUP Software Development Center, in which two mathematics department faculty are involved, conducts robotics programming workshops for middle- and high-school students.

If you are a K-12 student and like mathematics, consider a career in mathematics or mathematics education.
