Workshops : Clemson Algebra Project

Program Summary

Algebra educators will learn and share ideas on the effective use of technology in the Algebra classroom. Hands-on technology includes digital cameras, graphing calculators, and data collectors with motion, light, and temperature probes. Topics will focus on Algebra with some science.

Description Motivation

The NCTM calls for reforms in the Algebra classroom, especially in the area of technology incorporation. Current training is not aligned with major textbook curriculums, nor does it provide real world motivation. The Clemson Algebra Project provides such on alignment and does it with innovative technology that brings 'life' to the classroom! Hands-on group activities lead to learning and lots of fun.

Workshop Information

The Clemson Algebra Project merges technology training with ready-to-use materials that teachers can implement immediately in their classrooms to help their students master the key concepts in Algebra I and Algebra II. The primary tool utilized by this five-day program is the Casio's CFX-9850GB Plus or ALGEBRA FX2.0 graphing calculator. Also used in the program is a data collector (Casio's EA-200), a Casio digital camera, and the equipment used to connect and display them.

The program keys on sixteen fundamental units that have been adapted from NCTM's (1992) Core Curriculum and encompasses the major topics in the Algebra I and Algebra II courses taught in the vast majority of contemporary American high schools. To assist teachers in implementing the materials, the units have been correlated to the best selling Algebra I and Algebra II textbooks currently on the market. The materials supplement, but do not replace, the texts currently in place. In other words, the project integrates technology in a manner that both captures fundamental concepts and enriches student learning, while being fully compatible with the materials school
districts have already adopted.
