Paper 4: Calculator Activity

Calculator can help students to develop their understanding of algebra and other advanced Mathematics. With guided calculator use even, students begin to see differences and relationships among arithmetic procedures. Time for exploration is needed for effective calculator use. This paper is an example of calculator activity. Click the link to view the paper.

Paper 2: Computer Ethics

Rules are essential to establish order, discipline and learning in the classroom. A well-manage classroom facilitates deeper understanding of the topic. Here are my rules inorder to have a well-manage class in Mathematics with ICT.

10 Commandments

(on the use of Computer Laboratory during the class in Mathematics with ICT)

1. Do not change the desktop settings and program defaults in the computer. Always scan your files before opening of downloading it.

2. Honor the instructions given before each activity. Listen and follow them accordingly. Remember to finish the activity in a designated time schedule.

3. Thou shalt keep your voice low. If you have concerns, approach the teacher but do not disturb your classmates. Demonstrate manners and show considerations to those who are working.

4. Thou shalt not allow your classmate to manipulate you in order to serve them in making the output.

5. Thou shalt not copy your classmates output. Be honest. 

6. Thou shall not open other people’s files. Mind only your own files. 

7. Thou shalt have no other activities aside from the task at hand. Thou shalt not visit, access, upload, and download obscene, pornographic, threatening or discriminatory material.

8. Thou shall not bring food and beverages inside the computer laboratory. Keep your workstations neat and clean always.

9. Remember to save your work in your own folder and removable media.

10. Thou shall shutdown the computer PROPERLY.

Paper 1: Research Paper

      Researches are for action taking. That is to improve quality of instruction in learning Mathematics. Varied use of technology in teaching mathematics seeks to improve or maximize the students grasp in learning.  I have here a research paper  on the emergence of e-lecture practice in teaching.

Mathematics Lecturing in the Digital Age

Sven Trenholm*, Lara Alcock and Carol L. Robinson

Abstract

In this article, we consider the transformation of tertiary mathematics lecture practice. We undertake a focused examination of the related research with two goals in mind. First, we document this research, reviewing the findings of key studies and noting that reflective pieces on individual practice as well as surveys are more prevalent than empirical studies. Second, we investigate issues related to the transformation of lecture practice by the emergence of e-lectures. We discuss the latter in terms claims about the efficiencies offered by new technologies an contrast these with possible disadvantages in terms of student engagement in a learning community. Overall findings indicate that while survey results appear to trumpet the value of e-lecture provision, empirical study results appear to call that value into question. Two explanatory theoretical frameworks are presented. Issues concerning the instructional context (e.g. the nature of mathematical thinking), inherent complexities and recommendations for implementation are discussed.
