Computer Classroom and Laboratory for the Enhancement of Teacher Preparation in Mathematics

以培养创新型数学教师为目标，该项目使职前教师在技术丰富的环境中接触各种教学方法。可视化、实验和真实的应用正在被用来促进对数学的理解。为了实现这一目标，该部门已经开始了几项举措，包括将图形计算器和计算机软件纳入课程。正在购买25台PowerMac电脑、软件包和一台激光打印机，以装备一间教室和毗邻的实验室。该项目正在通过四门课程进行试点：微积分III，数学建模，线性代数和几何。前三门课程由所有专业的K-12教学选项，几何是由所有未来的中学数学教师。

With a goal of producing innovative mathematics teachers, this project is exposing pre-service teachers to a variety of pedagogical methods in a technology rich environment. Visualization, experimentation, and real applications are being used to foster the understanding of mathematics. To achieve this goal, the department has begun several initiatives, including the integration of graphing calculators and computer software into the courses. Twenty-five PowerMacs, software packages, and a laser printer are being purchased to equip one classroom and an adjoining laboratory. This project is being piloted through four courses: calculus III, mathematical modeling, linear algebra, and geometry. The first three courses are taken by all majors in K-12 teaching options, and geometry is taken by all future secondary mathematics teachers.
