Technology in Mathematics Explorations => Grades 5-10=> Problem-based learning=>Tool software and Internet applications =>Tied to NJ Core Curriculum Content Standards=>Focus on GEPA and secondary assessments
Technology in Mathematics EducationThree Visions • Grant Wiggins “Understanding by Design” • NCTM “Technology Principle” • CIESE “The Dynamic Classroom”
Technology Principlep. 26 “Teachers should use technology to enhance their students' learning opportunities by selecting or creating mathematical tasks that take advantage of what technology can do efficiently and well—graphing, visualizing, and computing. […] Spreadsheets,dynamic geometry software, and computer microworldsare useful tools for posing worthwhile problems….”
Knowledge Domains Resources Curriculum Math Learning Pedagogy Environment Assessment
Knowledge Domain #1 • Using Resources • Ability to use and access resources such as computers, software, calculators, handheld devices, and the Internet. Software programs include: • Spreadsheet programs (Excel, Appleworks) • Geometer's Sketchpad (Java Sketchpad) • Microworlds Web based Applets • Graphing Equations & Green Globs • Other Software programs
Knowledge Domain #2 • Creating Technology-oriented Learning Environments • Use a one computer station with a projection device to lead a whole class discussion or activity • Organize a small number of computers in the classroom for individual or group activities or projects. • Using a computer lab
Knowledge Domain #3 • Personalizing the Curriculum • Not Just the Textbook • Replacement Lessons
Knowledge Domain #4 • Mathematical Background & Attitude towards Learning Mathematics • The Curriculum: context for learning • Lesson Extensions & Explorations • Where’s the Math?
Knowledge Domain #5 • Pedagogical Strategies & Discourse • Break the Telling Habit • Conversations • Large & small groups (one computer, computer cluster, computer lab)
Knowledge Domain #6 • Assessment Strategies • Meeting the Standards • Formal & informal methods
