Math Lessons Collaboration Daily 06/16/2010

  • Nice set of applets that let students explore fraction understanding from multiple perspectives and models. I love that they use a variety of models for fractional development, including bars (multiple versions), sets, and linear.
    From the site:  "Why Fractions? Fractions are one of the earliest stumbling blocks for students in math. Our goal is building conceptual understanding in fractions as a basis for comprehension in all later topics."

  • Instructional strategies determine the approach a teacher may take to achieve learning objectives.
    Five categories of instructional strategies and explanation of these five categories can be found within this site.

  • Great article on looking at test preparation differently. It's not about answering a lot of questions similar to the ones on the test, but about learning processes that help students understand how to garner information from text/problems, etc.

    • Learning management systems--rather than controlling the learning environment for children--are actually augmenting interactions between the teacher and student
    • And one in five schools and districts that don't already offer online courses expect to do so in the next two school years
    • "K-12 Learning Management Systems" shows how this crop of LMS application is augmenting the teacher and student interactions as well as the social learning interactions between children.

  • "If you’re an educator, surely you know that technology has and will continue to have an incredible impact on learning. Whether it’s the Internet, innovative learning tools, or teaching technology itself, these two subjects are intertwined. In these talks, you will find essential information for educators concerned with technology."

    A great list of 100 talks about technology integration into education and the possible implications for teaching and learning.
