TERC and the Phoenix Zoo will pioneer the infusion of mathematics into educational programs involving animals by providing professional development for staff. Visitors will begin to see powerful applications of data and measurement as they study animal behavior. Workshops are already scheduled at over 15 zoos nationwide, with the aim of reaching 100 institutions.
