CYBERCHASE SEASON 7: DO THE MATH!

Cyberchase是公共电视台每天播出的动画“数学冒险系列”，目标受众是8-11岁的儿童。 十三/WNET纽约将开发和制作七个新的插曲，一个多媒体倡议数学和天气，加上一个创新的系列十个视频“数学时刻”称为做数学！通过广播，网络和宽带发布 Cyberchase的内容涵盖了国家数学理事会的3 - 5年级标准。 系列目标包括：1）强化数学知识; 2）模拟数学推理，帮助孩子提高解决问题的能力; 3）展示数学在日常生活中的用处; 4）激发所有孩子以热情和信心对待数学。 辅助材料，外展，和一个非常受欢迎的网站扩展了学习，并帮助使网络追逐唯一的数学媒体项目提供给目标年龄组。 Cyberchase现在已经是第六个制作季，也是PBS每日广播的第五个年头。 新的一季将建立在成功的格式，以模拟有效的解决问题的过程，扩大数学丰富的网站，并把Cyberchase到今天的新媒体平台，以促使儿童做数学。多媒体研究将进行形成性评估的3D Builder的数学游戏使用一个操作原型与学生的样本工作，并做一个自然的总结性评估，以评估视频短片的影响。

Cyberchase is public television's daily, animated "math adventure series" targeted to children aged 8-11. Thirteen/WNET New York will develop and produce seven new episodes, a multi-media initiative on Math and Weather, plus an innovative series of ten video "math moments" called Do the Math! to be released on air, online, and on broadband. Cyberchase's content spans the 3rd-5th grade standards of the National Council of Mathematics. The series goals include: 1) reinforce mathematical knowledge; 2) model mathematics reasoning and help children improve their problem-solving skills; 3) demonstrate the usefulness of math in everyday life; and 4) inspire all children to approach math with enthusiasm and confidence. Ancillary materials, outreach, and a highly popular Web site extend the learning and help make Cyberchase the sole mathematics media project available for the target age group. Cyberchase is now in its sixth production season and fifth year of daily PBS broadcast. The new season will build on the successful format to model effective problem-solving processes, expand the math-rich Web site and bring Cyberchase to today's new-media platforms to prompt children to do math. Multimedia Research will conduct formative evaluation of the 3D Builder's Math game using an operational prototype working with a sample of students and do a naturalistic summative evaluation to assess impact of the video shorts.
