Pilot program brings in a "real" video game to help teach mathematics. Study of the pilot shows improved test results.
Tabula Digita's mathematics videogames receive a large-scale trial in Virginia
It is about how an Algebra video game is currently used in NYC schools,
how the game is helping kids get over their fear of math, potentially
raising test scores, while bringing a little fun to the classroom. Definitely worth the read.
The students who learned the math abstractly did well with figuring out the rules of the game. Those who had learned through examples using measuring cups or tennis balls performed little better than might be expected if they were simply guessing.
Finland stays top of global class
Finland and South Korea remain among the superpowers of education, according to a major international study. The three-yearly Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) shows that the two countries are in the top five for reading and maths.
Using only elementary geometry, determine angle x. Provide a step-by-step proof.
You may only use elementary geometry, such as the fact that the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees and the basic congruent triangle rules (side-angle-side, etc.). You may not use more advanced trigonomery, such as the law of sines, the law of cosines, etc. There is a review of elementary geometry below.
Excellent article about the research at Fermilab and upcoming research at Cern. =)
Treasure Chest has many different websites in math, science, social studies, and language arts.
The Senate voted Wednesday to authorize an additional $16 billion for math and science programs over the next four years to keep the nation in the forefront of technology breakthroughs.
