| Abstract: |
Many mathematics curricula do not incorporate enough challenging problems that encourage investigation and higher-ordered thinking. Teachers value problem solving as an attribute to student learning, but often do not engage students in these types of learning activities due to limitations in curriculum resources. Unfortunately, some students obtain a limited perspective of mathematics when it is presented as a system of rules and procedures. Without alternative ways of approaching and understanding mathematics, some students lose opportunities to appreciate the richness and beauty of the subject, as well as conceptualize important ideas. One way to promote problem solving and mathematical inquiry is to engage students in technology-enhanced mathematical investigations (TEMIs). TEMIs are problems designed by teachers that challenge students to reflect on mathematical concepts by using technology templates to inquire, explore, conjecture, and validate their ideas. In this course, you will design two TEMIs that can be used by students in your classroom. |
| Outcomes: |
After completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Engage in TEMIs using technology familiar to you.
- Identify areas in your curriculum that can be enhanced by incorporating
TEMIs to address standards.
- Design TEMIs for your classroom.
- Design technology templates (or support materials) for students
to use when they engage in TEMIs.
- Develop an assessment plan that measures student learning when
using TEMIs.
