Purpose: This session is designed to show how the free, dynamic math tool, ClassPad.net, can make the learning of mathematics visual, focused on multiple representations and connections, and allow for real-world applications and student engagement.
ClassPad.net is a free, web-based math tool that allows for any mathematics to be done in one location, without the need for any additional tools. Teachers/Students can do calculations, graphing, geometry, statistics (including AP statistics), financial templates/calculations, sequences, and writing. This ability to do multiple mathematical content in one space provides amazing opportunities to help students discover and connect mathematical content in many ways.
Goals:
1) Introduce participants to a dynamic mathematical tool through hands-on interaction and learning experiences using mathematical content (statistics, algebra, geometry).
2) Model different teaching strategies that allow all students to enter into learning, including strategies for student collaboration, sharing of working, looking for patterns and connections, questioning.
3) Hands-on experience and learning of basic functionality of ClassPad.net through the doing of mathematics. This includes calculating, graphing, real-world data collection and data representation and statistical calculations, geometry applications.
4) Creation of various mathematical representations, including various graphs, statistical plots, tables, etc.
5) Participants will experience multiple math activities and will leave with an entire free resource of ready-to-use mathematical lessons and ways to organize, find and share activities with students, whether in a face-to-face environment but also in a remote-learning environment.
