The Faculty of Education offers a number of Institutes in Education. These
are intended primarily to provide opportunity for teachers to gain knowledge
of new approaches to the teaching of existing school programs and to gain
insight into aspects of new programs as they are introduced in the school
system. These Institutes normally carry six or nine credit hours. Students
who enrol in Institutes of six weeks duration or less will not normally be
permitted to register for any other courses. Additional information on Institutes
may be obtained from the Faculty of Education. Not all Institutes are offered
every semester or summer.
NOTE: Students wishing to enrol in Institutes should contact the Office
of Undergraduate Student Services.

The Van Hiel levels and their implications for instruction in geometry will
be discussed.
Activities appropriate to the teaching of junior high Mathematics will be
developed and demonstrated. A particular focus in this component of the Institute
will be on activities appropriate to the new program and how they can be
integrated into the junior high Mathematics curriculum.
