The study also found that concerns were less frequent in suburban and rural schools, as well as among less experience...
Case Western Reserve University math fellows are team-teaching a new graduate course to help Cleveland teachers discover mathematical concepts through hands-on activities. The course, led by fellows and Professor David Singer, will make advanced math accessible to teachers without a strong math background.
The Virginia Tech Mathematics Department has received a five-year NSF grant to implement a new math curriculum that focuses on problem-solving and technology integration. The project aims to provide professional development for 174 mathematics teachers in six counties, who will use modern NSF-funded instructional material.
Most educational software evaluated by Ohio State University researchers lacks essential content and fails to promote collaborative problem-solving, instead focusing on entertainment elements.
