Abstract
The Connection Standard in Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 2000) emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary experiences in the teaching and development of mathematical ideas. This article describes a four-week summer enrichment program relating mathematics to real-life applications in architecture and design, produced by the faculty from Kean University (through an Improving Teacher Quality Partnership grant awarded by the state of New Jersey). The focus of this summer program was to provide both a professional development opportunity for teachers and preservice teachers from the university as well as an opportunity for accelerated learners to have authentic hands-on experience in the critical content areas of data analysis, measurement, and proportionality. The students selected were rising sixth and seventh graders from an urban New Jersey school district.
