Overview | LMR - Development Site Learning Mathematics through Representations (LMR) is a research-based curriculum unit for the teaching and learning of integers and fractions in the elementary grades, using the number line as the principal representational context. The curriculum builds on two core ideas: mathematical representations are fundamental to mathematical communication and learning, and curriculum units should be designed as well-orchestrated lesson sequences that support insight and understanding of representational forms. The members of the LMR staff bring expertise in developmental and educational research, curriculum development, pre-service education and professional development, and elementary classroom teaching. The LMR team is led by Geoffrey B. Saxe and includes additional faculty and graduate students in the Graduate School of Education, University of California, Berkeley.

Unity Basics: An Introduction | Blurst Technology Unity 2.5′s release is finally on the horizon, which means Windows editor! In addition to some great new workflow and editor features, 2.5 will also usher in a wave of Windows users. There is a lot to learn about Unity, when you first encounter it, so we’re going to do a series of Unity Basics posts, with an introduction to some of the core concepts. This first post answer the question: Unity’s scope makes concise definition difficult. Unity is a lot of things, and it’s used differently by different disciplines, but here’s one breakdown. An Integrated Editor Unity provides an editing environment where you organize your project assets, create game objects, add scripts to these objects, and organize objects and assets into levels. The IDE is largely stateless, in that there is little distinction between creating your levels and playing them. Different team members and disciplines use the editor differently. A Component Architecture Paradigm Unity utilizes a component-based architecture.

Sheppard Software: Fun free online learning games and activities for kids. playforce.org - Playforce: Learning from the games we play Introduction to Statistics TigerSTAT is a three dimensional on-line game based where students use the on-line TigerSTAT game to collect data and explore models for estimating the age of a Siberian tiger. In this game, students act as researchers on a national preserve where they are expected to catch tigers, collect data, analyze their data (using the simple linear regression on transformed data), and draw appropriate conclusions. Before playing the game, student can read an optional scientific paper discussing current methods of estimating age in lions largely through the use of proxy variables. They are exposed to messy data and issues associated with data collection and through the TigerSTAT game. Instructor's Notes TigerSTAT Lab-Student Handout (NOTE: Before the links will work in this pdf document, you may need to download and save this file.) The following link allows you to play to the TigerSTAT Game. An April 2013 CAUSEweb webinar presenting this material is also available here: Introduction to TigerSTAT
Gaming education There are at least three different classes of digital games in schools. Which you prefer speaks volumes about the role you believe schools should play. The first group, the classic edu-tech games, have danced in and out of schools for so long that many kids take them for granted. Most of these programs are cute, but they fall short on pedagogical ambitions and graphic design. That doesn’t make them worthless; it just limits their effectiveness. By contrast, a handful of educators a few years ago sought to put game controls directly into students’ hands by teaching them how to build their own games. And now comes what I would dub a third approach, something that has picked up its very own buzzword before it has even reached most school gates: gamification. Most games are naturally social, which means gamification depends on that other ubiquitous web trend, social networking. Academics are creating a skin of respectability for gamification. The Scratch camp is more about empowerment.
