Learning probability with Fathom
(2005-12)
This presentation discusses what standards and research say about the learning of probability, dice and coins with Fathom, and how to solve problems by doing simulations. Fathom is a software useful in high school Algebra courses which makes it easy...
Using standards-based curricula in the middle grades: What can go wrong?
(2003-12)
through the lens of the curriculum materials they use to
provide opportunities for learning for their students....
Improving Mathematics Education in Missouri: There are no silver bullets
(2007)
There is no simple solution to improve student learning opportunities for Missouri students. Rather, we need a “recipe” that will maximize the liklihood of students learning important mathematics....
Promoting algebraic thinking in the middle grades using spreadsheets
(2002-12)
The purpose of this activity is to create spreadsheets that would help students to develop an algebraic approach to some problems. Spreadsheets will be created that perform repeated calculations. Through this activity, ...
Dynamic Geometry: GeoGebra
(2008)
This presentation discusses the benefits of using GeoGebra, a freely available “dynamic mathematics software” for learning and teaching in schools. It enables teachers to create accurate diagrams and illustrations, create interactive demonstrations...
Ten Challenges Facing the Mathematics Education Community
(2010)
This presentation gives an overview of the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) and discusses some pressing issues and challenges related to teaching and learning mathematics, including what is working and what needs attention...
Geometry, Technology, and the Reasoning and Proof Standard in the Middle Grades with the Geometer's Sketchpad
(2002-10)
