A Team Approach for Effective Integration of Technology in the Teaching of Mathematics at the Middle and High School Grades

这项为期三年的特别计划名为“在科学和数学教学中推广使用科技的计划”，旨在通过将科技融入课堂来改变数学教育。该项目将侧重于图形计算器和符号操作器，并将包括在统计、离散数学、数论、计算、几何、代数和高等数学的教学和学习中使用电子表格、光盘和最先进的软件。该项目旨在通过将技术与内容、知识和认知技能相结合来改变教学和学习策略。该计划将开发教学材料和课堂模式，以有效地整合这项技术。参加者将被选为五名六至十二年级教师组成的小组，以促进中学和中学之间的协调。入选的十支队伍将参加为期三周的暑期工作坊，为期三个暑期，并在随后的学年参加后续活动。位于威斯康星州东南部的目标学校位于少数民族人口众多的地区，将特别注意激发未被充分代表的群体对数学的兴趣。该项目将促进教师作为地区内和跨地区数学教育的有效变革推动者的作用的所有权。这个项目是面向主流的，完全按照目前数学界倡导的方向进行。

This three year project for the special initiative, "Projects to Promote the Use of Technology in the Teaching of Science and Mathematics", is designed to effect change in mathematics education by integrating technology into the classroom. The project will focus on graphing calculators and symbolic manipulators, and will include the use of spreadsheets, CD ROMs, and state-of-the-art software in teaching and learning statistics, discrete mathematics, number theory, computation, geometry, algebra, and advanced mathematics. The project aims to alter instructional and learning strategies by incorporating technology with content knowledge and cognitive skills. The program will develop instructional materials and classroom models for effective integration of the technology. Participants will be selected in teams of five grade 6-12 teachers to facilitate coordination between middle and secondary schools. The ten teams selected will participate in three-week summer workshops for three summers and in follow-up activities during the subsequent academic years. Set in southeastern Wisconsin, the targeted schools are in areas with large minority populations, and special attention will be paid to stimulating the interest of under-represented groups in mathematics. The project will promote the ownership of the teachers' role as effective change agents for mathematics education within and across districts. This project is mainstream - oriented squarely in the direction currently advocated by the mathematical community.
