Calculators and Mathematics Project - Los Angeles (CAMP-LA)

电子手持计算器是一种工具，可以用来作为一个 小学数学课程的组成部分。 与 计算器如此丰富和便宜，每个孩子都应该能够 有一个计算器适当使用数学和其他 可以应用数学的科目。 虽然有些材料 支持在小学中使用计算器 学校，目前还没有一套连贯的材料， 在课程的一个新的光，假设计算器是一个 学习和做数学的基本工具。 这个项目将开发一个模型，在K-6数学的变化 这是一个基于每个孩子都有一个计算器的假设。 预期的变化包括减少花在某些主题上的时间 (such以及在其他主题上花费的时间越来越多（如 解决问题和推理）。该项目将开发一套 基于计算器的K-6年级学生材料，旨在 一套教师，一套教师 材料，将包括一个指南，用于教学数学使用 计算器和学生评估材料，包含以下协议 评价学生工作时，从事活动，如问题 解决;和材料的使用计算器在一个小学 设置，用于教师的职业培训。 该项目将是加州州的一项合作努力 富勒顿大学和洛杉矶联合学区。 该项目的目标之一是创建一个可复制的模型， 大学与学区在课程开发方面的合作， 教师教育

The electronic hand-held calculator is a tool that can be used as an integral part of the elementary school mathematics curriculum. With calculators so abundant and inexpensive, each child should be able to have a calculator for appropriate use in mathematics and in other subjects where mathematics can be applied. Although some materials are available that support the use of the calculator in the elementary school, there exists currently no coherent set of materials that looks at the curriculum in a new light, assuming that the calculator is an essential tool to be used in learning and doing mathematics. This project will develop a model for change in the K-6 mathematics curriculum, based on the assumption that every child has a calculator. Anticipated changes include diminishing time spent on certain topics (such as long division) and increasing time spent on other topics (such as problem solving and reasoning). The project will develop a set of calculator-based student materials for Grades K-6 designed to be flexible enough to stand alone or be supplementary; a set of teacher materials that will include a guide for teaching mathematics using calculators and student evaluation materials with protocols for evaluating student work when engaged in activities such as problem solving; and materials on the use of calculators in an elementary setting, to be used in the preservice preparation of teachers. The project will be a collaborative effort of the California State University at Fulleraton and the Los Angeles Unified School District. One of the goals of the project is to create a replicable model for university-school district cooperation in curriculum development and teacher education.
