Three new things I learned in this chapter....
1. Graphic calculators give students a hands on practice in solving mathematical problems. Graphing calculators can help students do mathematical calculations and visualize algebraic concepts in a manner that enhances understanding and problem-solving skills.
2. Students can use the internet to obtain useful math-related information. Students can use the internet sites are rich sources of data sets and mathematical information to answer questions. These sites can help students see real world applications of mathematical principals.
3. NASA internet sites can help keep students in touch with scientific events. Through web based activities, students participate in events, such as the landing of the Mars Rover.
Two connections to my teaching...
1. There are many strategies that can be utilized when integrating mathematical and scientific instruction. Teachers can use virtual manipulatives and support science concept learning.
2. Teachers can utilize Math Problems of the Week website to try current problems and receive help with questions. Teachers and students can discuss online problems of the week and use in class.
One question I have is...
1. Are these integration methods commonly utilized by teachers?
