Conrad Wolfram: Teaching kids real math with computers - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    Making Math more interesting.  You may have seen this video before (2010) but still very good.   Very interesting perspective by Conrad Wolfram.  He thinks the way we are teaching Math is the problem. http://www.ted.com From rockets to stock markets, math powers many of humanity's most thrilling creations. So why do kids lose interest? Conrad Wolfram says the part of math we teach -- calculation by hand -- isn't just tedious, it's mostly irrelevant to real mathematics and the real world. He presents his radical idea: teaching kids math through computer programming.

Wolfram Alpha Launches Problem Generator To Help Students Learn Math - 1 views

  •  
    The Problem Generator - which is available to all Wolfram Alpha Pro subscribers now - creates random practice questions for students, and Wolfram Alpha then helps them find the answers step-by-step. Right now, the Generator covers six subjects: arithmetic, number theory, algebra, calculus, linear algebra and statistics. The difficulty of the questions can be tuned down for students in elementary school and tuned up for those in college calculus classes. As the company notes in today's announcements, the material for students in elementary and secondary schools closely follows the Common Core Standards initiative.

Rethinking Math Basics in a Digital Age - 1 views

  • there were a number of attendees who confused computer-assisted math, in which the computer makes it easier to do what they’re already doing, with computational mathematics. To paraphrase an analogy Seymour Papert once made, this is like using a jet-engine to speed up a horse-drawn carriage
  • Skills that were deemed absolutely essential when the tools we had were different may no longer be the skills that are necessary today. As Sugata Mitra asks, how many of us need to know how to ride a horse, once an essential skill. Or to use a slide rule to determine logarithms or even how to really dial a phone.
