Trocki, Aaron – Mathematics Teacher, 2014
The advent of dynamic geometry software has changed the way students draw, construct, and measure by using virtual tools instead of or along with physical tools. Use of technology in general and of dynamic geometry in particular has gained traction in mathematics education, as evidenced in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSI…

Morge, Shelby P. – Mathematics Teacher, 2007
This article highlights a series of activities designed to elicit students' mathematics-related beliefs, particularly those related to gender. As a result of the activities, females in upper-level classes rated themselves as having less confidence than males, and viewing a movie clip was sufficient for some students to modify their descriptions of…

Breunlin, R. James; Kasper, Timothy A.; Kolet, Michelle; Letzel, Kendra; Letzel, Thomas; Noah, John; Schutte, Jennifer; Williams, Bob; Zickert, Chris – Rowman & Littlefield Education, 2006
This book is the result of the collaborative effort of nine AYA National Board Certified Teachers in Mathematics. It represents a compilation of teacher-tested activities that prompt high school students to explore, conjecture and reflect on their mathematical adventures-- thus "experience mathematics." This edition will educate the teacher…

National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2006
Making connections becomes increasingly important as students proceed through middle school and high school. This book shows ways of embedding connective processes in instruction in grades 9-12. Problems invite mathematical modeling, unify diverse content, call for different representations, and encourage students to look back at their work to…
