Shockey, Tod; Czerniak, Charlene; Ponnaiyan, Thehazhnan; Javaid, Ahmad; Oluoch, Jared – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2022
We present a case of one teacher's engagement in project-based learning for algebra I students. This teacher was a member of a cohort of mathematics teachers and career technical educators who participated in a two-week intensive summer institute investigating autonomous vehicles. During the academic year, the follow up support for these educators…

Janke, Robert W.; Pilkey, Peter J. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1985
Found that there was significantly improved achievement of students whose teachers received diagnostic error information from a microcomputer program compared to teachers who did not receive such information. Explanations for the improved achievement and implications for mathematics instruction are addressed. (JN)
