The purpose of the project was to determine whether or not students who learn how to take structured notes using the Cornell Notes format will develop a deeper conceptual understanding and an increased comprehension of concepts involving rational expressions as evidenced on their performance on a multiple choice and free response test.


Teaching Mathematics In The Classroom With Powerpoint Software, Robert Ward Kopp Jan 2012

Teaching Mathematics In The Classroom With Powerpoint Software, Robert Ward Kopp

Theses Digitization Project

This study will look at at how to better student achievement in an Algebra II course. Specifically this study examines two different modifications made during the second semester of an Algebra II course taught at a high school in Riverside County. The modifications that were made were based on a detailed literature review that suggested looking at how students learn while using PowerPoint software as an instructional tool and at the same time investigate the consequence of rearranging a fairly common and predetermined curriculum pattern.


A Learning Progression For Identifying And Placing Fractions On A Number Line, Corinne Dorothy Marshall Jan 2012

A Learning Progression For Identifying And Placing Fractions On A Number Line, Corinne Dorothy Marshall

Theses Digitization Project

This project provides a learning progression for identifying and placing fractions on a number line that teachers can consider when introducing fractions on number lines. The number line is one of the most useful ways to represent all real numbers in relation to each other. It allows students to experience the density of the number system since all real numbers, natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers and irrational numbers have an exact and unique location on the number line.
