Using Technology to Help Teach Rigor
-
Teaching mathematical rigor is an important objective in our
mathematics curriculum and must be considered whenever technology is
placed in the hands of the student. This talk will describe
experiences in a precalculus class where the TI-86 calculator was used
to enhance teaching of mathematical rigor. Generally, the students
are expected to have high technical expertise, but moderate to low
technical expertise will be expected of the audience in the EXPO
talk. The audience will not be expected to use the calculators during
the talk, but should be able to follow the examples presented.

Learning - A Demonstration and Follow-up
-
This presentation will demonstrate on a computer screen an interactive
computer-assisted approach to teach students various levels of
mathematics. This program, produced by Academic Systems, Inc., was
implemented in both on-campus and online courses (for students with
Internet access) at KCKCC. Mediated learning, using both software and
textbooks, can provide the solution to helping your students succeed
in mathematics. Not only will they succeed, but they will come back
for the next level. This method provides college-level, interactive
multimedia mathematics course materials covering Math Essentials,
Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, and College Algebra.
Through overhead transparencies, we will provide you with our
experiences from our first year's implementation of mediated
learning. This session will show you how to make mathematics work for
your students and for you.
