POMT Cells and Genetics is immersive and engaging. The simple mechanism draws you in with no distractions about how or what you are “supposed” to do. Players move into smaller universes and click on anything that interests them. The game design is soft spoken, almost unnoticeable. The Challenges are so simple that there are no directions, only some things to try dragging objects around, some "you lost points" and "you got points" pop ups to let you know whether you are going in the correct direction or should try dragging something else.
NUMBERPLAY - Wordplay Blog. Christophe Margot for The New York TimesA school of fish was the inspiration for Hidato.
This week’s puzzle was suggested by Gyora Benedek, the Israeli computer scientist, inventor and adventurer. We first met Dr. Mathematics. Prime Factors. Many resources are available online for studying the prime factor decomposition of a number.
From CIMT there are Interactive Exercises on Prime factors and on Highest Common Factor and Lowest Common Multiple. From Spencer Riley’s TeacherLed the Prime Factor Tree resource provides a very attractive prime factor tree showing the prime factor decomposition for any number from 2 to 99. From the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives comes this Factor Tree Resource. Note the choice of Computer or User which means the user can select a number to decompose into prime factors. By choosing two trees, the highest common factor (referred to as the greatest common factor) and lowest common multiple can be found. Number Tree. How Does the Number Tree Grow?
As the numbers descend from the heavens and attach themselves to the growing tree, they look for a specific number on a branch point. The largest divisor (factor) is what they choose. So, for instance, take the number 20. It has the following divisors: (1, 2, 4, 5, and 10). (The number 20 itself is not considered because it can't branch from itself :) So, it chooses 10 as its branch point - as you can see in the tree. Hey Cool - Did You Notice? Prime Number Ordering of Branches Notice that the branch at the lower-left has no sub-branches. Mathematics, Learning and Web 2.0.
XtraMath. Arjan Khalsa Conceptualizes Math Fluency. Conceptua Math was conceived three years ago with a mission to complete a K-8 curriculum that is visually interactive and that serves students and their teachers. by Judy Faust Hartnett A whole new generation of digital math products is focused on aligning math learning with the Common Core State Standards. If used properly, then these products can be a great asset to school districts. While researching this topic, Conceptua Math caught my eye because unlike other products, it has not only the student, but the teacher in mind.
I tracked down its very dynamic leader, Arjan Khalsa, who has devoted his professional life to education and the development of educational materials for over 25 years. Explore Lessons. Top 25 blogs for math in the classroom. 1.
Miss Calcul8 The writer of this blog teaches “life with a bit of algebra and geometry on the side.” And her goal is a lofty one: “I expect to be the best teacher that has ever lived, to change the world, and to live wealthy.” Along the way, she shares her thoughts on differentiated instruction, classroom management, standardized testings, student culture, and more. This thoughtful blog offers teachers a lot of insight, as well as practical tips and ideas. National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. The Math Mojo Chronicles. This is a guest-post.
I’ve never had a guest-post on the Math Mojo Chronicles before, but I’m open to anything that fits in with the Math Mojo Manifesto, and had real value for readers. Jeremy Fordham has written just such an article, and I’m happy to present it to you here: Many students have the same question when they have to study math in high school: “When am I going to use this?” The answer to that question is multifaceted. First of all, math is one way that students can learn logic, problem solving and critical thinking skills, which are all extremely important for furthering one’s education, especially if a student is considering getting an advanced degree like an online Ph.D. Computer Scientist Computer science is a practical field that requires some knowledge of math. Physicist Of the “hard sciences,” physics is the most math-heavy. Chemist Chemists require knowledge of mathematics both for theoretical and research calculations.
