A Versatile, Technology-Intensive Earth Math: Classroom Applications for Algebra through Calculus

数学科学（21）该项目是地球代数和地球数学项目的延伸，由美国教育部和NSF资助。目标是制作多功能的技术密集型材料，供课堂使用和教师培训。基于改革的应用程序正在被纳入独立于平台的软件中，使任何拥有计算机的人都可以使用这些软件。这些材料的多功能性允许教师使用它们，而不管教科书。环境应用程序从以前的项目进行了重新设计，用于从代数到微积分的课程。该项目的特点是基于查询的格式，基于Web的交互式材料，无缝接口与国家的最先进的技术，使用真实的数据，有趣的应用程序的数学概念，和课堂使用的灵活性。材料是以调查为基础的格式保存的课程，从代数到微积分，高中和大学，并为在职和职前教师。该产品正在肯尼索州、波特兰州、圣胡安学院、凤凰城学院、戴恩学院和高中进行试点、测试和评估。正在为大学教职员工和中学教师举办讲习班，并将这些材料制成光盘和其他媒体。

Mathematical Sciences (21)The project is an extension of the Earth Algebra and Earth Math projects, funded by the U.S. Department of Education and the NSF. The goal is to produce versatile, technology-intensive materials for classroom use and teacher training. Reform-based applications are being incorporated into platform-independent software to make them accessible to anyone with a computer. The versatility of these materials allows an instructor to use them regardless of the textbook. Environmental applications from the previous projects are redesigned to be used in courses from algebra through calculus. The project features an inquiry-based format, Web-based interactive materials, seamless interface with state-of-the-art technology, use of real data, interesting applications of mathematical concepts, and flexibility of classroom use. Materials are being kept in an inquiry-based format for courses from algebra through calculus, both high school and college, and for in-service and pre-service teachers. The product is being piloted, tested, and evaluated at Kennesaw State, Portland State, San Juan College, Phoenix College, Dine' College and in high schools. Workshops for college faculty and high school teachers are being conducted, and the materials are being published on CD-ROM and other media.
