Ron Armontrout
Consultant

Ron Armontrout was a middle and high school mathematics teacher for over 40 years in public and private schools including Western Reserve Academy, Groton School, the Mathematics Department Chair at the Peddie School, and The Hotchkiss School. Chosen as a Woodrow Wilson Fellow for the 1986 Mathematics Institute, Geometry in the Technological Age, at Princeton University, Ron has been involved in various curriculum and writing projects ever since.  As a team leader in the Boston College NSF Discrete Mathematics Project (1993-97), his major responsibilities included mathematical modeling, recursion and the use of technology in the teaching of mathematics.  Ron is one of the three original NCTM Geometry Academy team leaders. He co-authored, TI Interactive! Data Collection and Analysis, by Texas Instruments, and is co-author of Calculus Explorations with Geometry Expressions, by Saltire Software. He also co-authored US-Russian Geometry Activities for Middle School and High School Students, by Best Practices in Education, and he co-authored the "How Should Algebra Be Taught?" section of the ALGEBRA for the 21st CENTURY report published by NCTM.  He was the team leader for the Grainger Mathematics Curriculum initiative at the Hotchkiss School.

Ron worked as a consultant with the Millard School District in Omaha, Nebraska, the Virginia Beach School District for Create-a-Vision Educational Consultants, and for several independent and public schools.  Ron consulted with the mathematics faculty at Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah, Ga. on mathematical modeling and teaching geometry in middle school and high school, and was a guest lecturer in discrete mathematics at Valdosta State University in Valdosta, Ga.  He worked with TI to design TI Interactive! and TI Connect software and piloted the TI Nspire line of calculators.  He is a T^3 (Teachers Teaching with Technology) regional instructor.  

Ron has also been a presenter at numerous mathematics conferences, including the Phillips Exeter Academy Mathematics and Technology Conference for twenty years, T^3 workshops, regional and international meetings, The Peddie School Mathematics Conference for Middle School Teachers, 2003 Technology, Teaching and Learning Institute in Melbourne, Australia, and well over thirty NCTM national and regional conferences.
