Wolfram|Alpha: The Use Cases - 0 views

  • Stephen Wolfram told Chronicle.com that computer-algebra systems like Wolfram|Alpha actually improve education - because they allow students to explore complex problems on their own and intuitively determine how functions work, rather than just learn rote processes. Wolfram claimed that "it's better to let them [students] stand on that platform and go further."

Graduation exam compromise earning mixed grades - 0 views

  • The latest version of Keystone Exams calls for the state to provide 10 end-of-course exams, beginning with English literature, Algebra 1 and biology in 2010-11, with other subjects being phased in through 2016-17. The state would ask the federal government to permit the first three to be used to satisfy the No Child Left Behind Act beginning in 2012-13, thus enabling the state to discontinue the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment exams in 11th grade.
  • For graduation purposes, school districts would need to count the exams for at least one-third of a student's final grade or districts could use validated local assessments or Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate exams instead.

    In defending this exam idea, one person said that she felt it was BETTER to give these tests than one PSSA test every three years. "Wouldn't you rather take the test when you can still remember the material?" Hmmm. Think about that for a couple of minutes.

Connecticut District Tosses Algebra Textbooks and Goes Online - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • “With all that is expected of teachers and students today, building a mathematics curriculum that has the depth to meet the needs of all classrooms is a very hard thing to do
    • Anne Van Meter
       
      But, if a teacher or a school is creating the online material, then it doesn't need to be good for "all classrooms" just the ones you are creating it for! And the teacher(s) can alter it every year if it's available and editable online.
  • “They’ve sidestepped the math wars because they have a rational curriculum, well-taught, and they get great results, so how can you argue with that?
    • Anne Van Meter
       
      Exactly, how can you argue with a program that helps students achieve at high levels?

    "Beyond simple math and grouping (like "(x+2)(x-4)"), there are some functions you can use as well. Look below to see them all. They are mostly standard functions written as you might expect. You can also use "pi" and "e" as their respective constants. Please note: You should not use fractional exponents. For example, don't type "x^(1/3)" to compute the cube root of x. Instead, use "root(x,3)". When you want a quick graph of a function, you can just go to http://graphsketch.com/[function], like http://graphsketch.com/sin(x). You can even separate multiple equations with commas, like http://graphsketch.com/sin(x),x^2."
