A Modern K-6 Mathematics Curriculum Based on Integrating Mathematics and Science

综合数学与科学教学（TIMS） 教师增强材料，l完成K-6和科学材料将 发展。学生们将花大约一半的时间做动手 定量实验和活动，四分之一的时间涉及 在解决开放式问题方面，他们四分之一的时间 算术方法。 该项目制作的课堂材料将包括 140个动手实验，其中联合收割机知识的重要科学 和数学（每门课大约需要五个课时， 完整的），解决问题的模块，一本教科书，和一本冒险书。 学生将在小组中探索问题，发现关系， 通过实验，并讨论其结果。 他们会聚集， 图表和分析数据。 他们会通过一连串的问题 关于实验，做实验，寻找替代方法， 讨论联系，验证结论，强化技能。 对课程的支持将包括广泛的教师材料， 除了教师准备教科书，在职/工作人员 发展计划，l一个评估包，和一个计划，为家长 参与。 课程将广泛使用适当的 包括计算器和计算机在内的技术。 教师教育学 应通过使用这些材料来提高技能和知识。 项目评价包括项目实施过程中的形成性评价和 先导试验阶段和现场试验期间的总结性评价 相位 作为总结性评价的一部分， 概念发展，儿童的态度，和教师的 态度和知识都将被研究，并与其他 课程。

Based upon the Teaching Integrated Mathematics and Science (TIMS) teacher enhancement materials,l complete K-6 and science materials will be developed. Students will spend about half their time doing hands-on quantitative experiments and activities, a fourth of their time involved in open ended problem solving, and a fourth of their time learning methods of arithmetic. The classroom materials produced by the project will include a total of 140 hands-on experiments which combine knowledge of significant science and mathematics (each of which takes about five class periods to complete), problem solving modules, a textbook, and an adventure book. Students will pursue problems in small groups, discover relationships through experiments, and discuss their results. They will gather, graph, and analyze data. They will, through sequences of questions about the experiments, make conjectures, find alternative methods, discuss connections, verify conclusions, and reinforce skills. Support for the curriculum will include extensive teacher materials in addition to a teacher preparation textbook, an inservice/staff development program,l an assessment package, and a program for parent involvement. The curriculum will make extensive use of appropriate technologies including calculators and computers. Teachers' pedagogical skill and knowledge should increase through use of these materials. Evaluation of the project encompasses both formative evaluation during the pilot test phase and summative evaluation during the field test phase. As part of the summative evaluation, the children's growth in conceptual development, the children's attitudes, and the teachers' attitudes and knowledge will all be studied and compared with other curricula.
