Building Multimedia Instructional Materials to Nationally Promote the Use of Calculator Technology in Mathematics Classes

美国数学协会将进行一个为期四年的项目， 题为“建立多媒体教学材料，以全国 在数学课上推广使用计算器科技。 的 建议列入特别征集，“项目，以促进 科学与技术教学中的有效利用 数学”。 每个资料袋将包括一个20分钟的录像带， 图形或符号操作计算器来教授原理， 数学技术。 德克萨斯州的两个学区将 参与成为使用计算器的典范， 国家数学教师理事会（NCTM）标准。 的 NCTM将在审查开发中的产品方面提供专业知识 阶段 项目团队制作了成功的视频“数学：你可以 指望它”，并具有一些突出的数字在数学 教育 这个项目有着巨大的潜在意义， 因为它是推动国家接受《公约》的关键一步， 数学教育中的计算器数学协会 美国、德州仪器和两个参与的学区 贡献了全国科学研究的42%， 基金会请求。

The Mathematical Association of America will conduct a four-year project titled, "Building Multimedia Instructional Materials to Nationally Promote the Use of Calculator Technology in Mathematics Classes". The proposal is included in the special solicitation, "Projects to Promote the Effective Use of Technology in the Teaching of Science and Mathematics". Each kit will feature a 20-minute videotape on the use of graphing or symbol manipulating calculators to teach principles and techniques of mathematics. Two school districts in Texas will participate to become models in the use of calculators in implementing the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Standards. The NCTM will provide expertise in reviewing the products in the development stage. The project team produced the successful video, "Math: You Can Count on It", and features a number of prominent figures in mathematics education. This project has the potential for great significance, since it represents a key step in the drive for national acceptance of calculators in mathematics education. The Mathematical Association of America, Texas Instruments, and the two participating school districts are contributing an amount equal to 42% of the National Science Foundation request.
