Reasonable Basic Algebra
Reasonable Basic Algebra is:
* An introduction that appeals to the reader's reason rather than to her/his ability to memorize.
* A complete tool for teaching "developmental" students twice a week for 15 weeks.
* A way for adults to learn some mathematics—more or less in the same spirit as mathematicians do.
* A text, with a story-line, written to be read and reread.
* A presentation that pays pedantic attention to the linguistic difficulties the reader is likely to have in
Motion Mountain: The Free Physics Textbook
This site provides a free physics textbook that tells the story of how it became possible, after 2500 years of exploration, to answer such questions. The book is written for the curious: it is entertaining, surprising and challenging on every page. With little mathematics, starting from observations of everyday life, the text explores the most fascinating parts of mechanics, thermodynamics, special and general relativity, electrodynamics, quantum theory and modern attempts at unification. The es
Applied Mathematics III
This is a short 1-level applied mathematics module with questions practicing addition, subtraction and occasionally multiplication and division. In about half the questions, use is made of Roman numerals. It is intended for revision purposes. The setting is the Roman Empire. Help a variety of citizens and even Caesar himself work out the necessary sums to manage their everyday lives. Technically the module is of interest because it shows the use of custom virtual keyboards. Instead of a modern n
Private Universe Project in Mathematics: Workshop 5. Building on Useful Ideas
One of the strands of the Rutgers long-term study was to find out how useful ideas spread through a community of learners and evolve over time. Here, the focus is on the teachers role in fostering thoughtful mathematics.,Equations" In Colts Neck, New Jersey, fourth-grade teacher and former Rutgers researcher Amy Martino finds out that what started as a 15-minute warm-up question evolves into an interesting discussion about equations.

Le travail présenté dans ce document est centré sur la problématique de la conception des EIAH (Environnements Informatiques pour l'Apprentissage Humain). Dans une première partie, nous proposons une réflexion sur la nature, les objectifs et les difficultés de cette problématique de recherche. Cette analyse conduit à identifier une difficulté centrale, la multiplicité des points de vue qui peuvent intervenir dans un travail lié à la conception d'un EIAH et les incompréhensions prof

In distance learning supported by LMS, it is extremely important to provide automated or partially automated feedback about learning outcomes to students as well as feedback about the efficiency and quality of teaching and learning to teachers and to management of the institution that provides web-based learning courses. In this article, we present the solutions implemented in the LMS eCampus that are theoretically grounded and have been proved in praxis.

With Dr. Marta Civil. As teachers, we often make assumptions about the knowledge children are exposed to at home. Sometimes it seems that we focus on only reading and writing,Dr. Civil contends that we need to look more carefully at the mathematical potential of the home and that it is essential that schools learn to be more flexible and knowledgeable about students home environments. See and hear from Dr. Civil, the teachers she works with, and a long-standing parent mathematics group, and fo
