The Boston College Mathematics Institute was established in 1957 as a unit separate from the Mathematics Department to assist in the national effort to improve content and instructional practice in mathematics at the precollege level. In the 1960's and 1970's the primary emphasis of the institute was to provide veteran teachers with renewal programs to update and deepen their background in mathematics. The majority of the programs were academic year, inservice and summer institutes funded by the National Science Foundation. Concurrently Institute Staff developed some supplementary instructional materials for use with students and teachers in the grades K-12.
Presently, the Mathematics Institute offers professional development opportunities for teachers during the summers at Boston College and other sites. The Institute Staff continue to produce instructional materials for teachers and students in elementary, middle, and secondary schools. Institute Staff members also collaborate with teachers in schools and school districts concerning professional development and curriculum.
