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.

Electronic Portfolio For Mathematical Problem Solving In The Elementary School, Patricia Amelia Deragisch Jan 1997

Electronic Portfolio For Mathematical Problem Solving In The Elementary School, Patricia Amelia Deragisch

Theses Digitization Project

Electronic portfolio for mathematical problem solving in the elementary school is an authentic assessment tool for teachers and students to utilize in evaluating mathematical skills. It is a computer-based interactive software program to allow teachers to easily access student work in the problem solving area for assessment purposes, and to store multimedia work samples over time.


Extending And Exploring Students' Problem Solving Via Problem Posing, Elena N. Stoyanova Jan 1997

Extending And Exploring Students' Problem Solving Via Problem Posing, Elena N. Stoyanova

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

Despite the fact that problem posing has been recommended as a useful mathematical activity in the curriculum documents of several countries, research about the types of problem-posing situations in which students could be involved, and about the effects of these problem-posing activities on students' mathematical performance is limited. The application of problem posing in school mathematics has been hindered by the absence of a framework which links problem posing, problem solving and mathematics curricula
