I would really like to explore more of this CD-ROM!!
Just by reading the description of the page, it excited me. Furthermore,
more I looked at the content of the CD-ROM by looking at some example problems
through the demo, more I was attracted to this program. It seems
kind of complicated to use in the beginning, but I think it will definitely
be worth it to get to know more about this program. The reason I
am excited and attracted to this program is because this CD-ROM can provide
students the problems that are related to the real life situations.
In addition, the problems will require combined math skills, not exclusively
for one only. Through this CD, I can vision my students get excited
about solving some math problems and see some connections between math
and real life. This CD is not particularly helpful for my project,
but I could get some ideas and really made me think about the value of
my project.
This program might take a while for people to get
used to use it, because the outlook of the page is a little bit complicated.
There are too much information and they tried to make it too much fun,
so there are too many pictures that are not necessary. They make
my eyes get even more tired. Sometimes I can see that students might
get turned off by the complicated looks on the page. However, I am
interested in getting to know more about this CD, because I think that
this can be a useful program to get students interested in doing some math.
It does not present any extraordinary problems, but it does make it seem
more interesting than teachers' demonstrating in front of the class and
lecturing. It is a very helpful source for students to go to and
just get some practice. In addition, it gives the step by step solution,
so it could be a good tutor, too! I guess it is also a good test
generator which would be very helpful for teachers. This program
would not exactly fit my philosophy on teaching mathematics. However,
in terms of giving exercises to students through this program would be
an excellent idea!
This web site is so exciting!! This is exactly
what I wanted to make for my students. In fact, now that I found
something like this, I don't know if I really want to go on with my project.
I can just tell my students to go to this web site and get some practice!
I am jealous that somebody already had come up with this kind of idea and
made a web page on it. I especially like this web site, since it
is easy to follow instructions and the simple screen design is easy on
eyes. There is really nothing I can say about it! It's perfect!!
The reason I particularly chose this web site for
this assignment is because I really liked the web links that they had within
the web site itself. It's not only for the elementary school students,
but there are links for middle school as well as for high schools.
Two things I really liked about this web site is that it gives a direct
link to Ask Dr. Math as well as to Problem of the Week. I personally
like Problem of the week is because it is not a typical math problems,
but more related to real life situations, etc. I like Ask Dr. Math
because it gives chances to students to ask questions about math and teachers
can use it, as well.
Again, this web site has nothing to do with my
project, but it intrigues my mind about my project.
This web site is too good to be true. Again,
this web site has nothing to do with my project, but I chose this one because
it has good content that I might want to use to visit with my students.
It has "Games and puzzles" that regards to mathematics, and it has "Mathematics
as Language" which kind of elaborates on history of some of the math concepts
as one of the many cool links. I believe this math link can
be a very good source for teachers to give projects and all for the class,
because the information that this site contains is useful and it contains
variety of information. It seems that they also have CD-ROMs
for this information.
