Elementary Math and Technology (EMAT)

在波士顿公立学校和波士顿大学的共同努力下，这个39个月的项目将使整个学校系统的小学教师能够将基于计算机的材料整合到数学教学中。将回顾几个开发问题解决技能的创新课程项目，以确定它们在小学数学课程中的地位。透过数学教学及与辅导教师的互动，共有七十五名训练有素的幼稚园至五年级教师将准备好使用这些教材，并为他们的同事提供在职指导。参加者包括双语教师、特殊教育教师，以及资优学生的教师。评估将评估该项目对教学策略和学生学习的影响，传播活动将包括制作录像带。波士顿公立学校的捐款相当于NSF奖金的58%。

A collaborative effort on the part of the Boston Public Schools and Boston University, this 39.month project will enable elementary schoolteachers throughout the school system to integrate computer-based materials into the teaching of mathematics. Several innovative curriculum projects that develop problem.solving skills will be reviewedin order to define their place in the elementary mathematics curriculum. Through instruction in mathematics content and interaction with mentor teachers, a total of seventy-five well-prepared K-5 teachers will be readied to use these materials, and to provide inservice instruction to their colleagues. Participants will include bilingual teachers, special education teachers, and teachers of gifted and talented students. The evaluation will assess the project's effect on teaching strategies and on student learning, and dissemination activities will include the production of a videotape. The Boston Public Schools is contributing an amount equal to 58% of the NSF award.
