Geometry, Technology, and the Reasoning and Proof Standard in the Middle Grades with the Geometer's Sketchpad
(2002-10)
Proofs are an essential part of mathematics. Sketchpad is not a tool for proving, rather it is a tool that can generate examples that can help students to reason inductively and make conjectures.
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, ...
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 ...
Using standards-based curricula in the middle grades: What can go wrong?
(2003-12)
Textbooks have been at the center of heated debate in mathematics education in the United States.Teachers play a critical role as ultimate decision makers regarding how is their curriculum enacted in the classroom. Their ...
