Physics Union Mathematics (PUM) is a set of supplemental curricu-
lar materials spanning middle school through high school designed to
develop the Science and Engineering Practices outlined in the NGSS. An
important emphasis of PUM is the implicit development of mathematical
thinking and the explicit and appropriate use of grade-level mathematics
in the context of science practices. Using the PUM curricular materials,
participants will learn how to modify physical science and physics courses
to incorporate Science and Engineering Practices and the Crosscutting
Concepts outlined in the NGSS. We provide tested curriculum materials
including: sample materials from the PUM website (curriculum/solutions/
assessments freely available after the completion of workshop) (b) a website
with over 100 short invention activities designed to develop mathemati-
cal reasoning; and (c) a website with over 200 videotaped experiments
and questions for use in classwork/laboratories/homework. Please bring a
laptop with Quicktime if you have one.
