Direct linkOzgun-Koca, S. Asli; Edwards, Thomas G. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2010
"I liked to grab things on the graphics and see it first hand, see what we were doing on the problem. It makes more sense." These words were from a student who completed a series of lessons on lines of best fit. She made this comment after comparing a hands-on approach using a strand of spaghetti with a high-tech approach using a calculator. To…

Bombaugh, Ruth; Jefferys, Lynn – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2006
In this article, the authors demonstrate how a simple math lab incorporating monthly height measurements can address multiple science and mathematics standards such as collecting, organizing, and describing data in context; drawing conclusions; and making hypotheses from these data. Although the yearlong math lab can be accomplished in either the…

Peer reviewedManouchehri, Azita; Enderson, Mary C.; Pugnucco, Lyle A. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 1998
Addresses some concerns about teaching and learning geometry by describing how The Geometer's Sketchpad software program allows for the implementation of many of the recommendations from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) in the mathematics classroom. Explains the types of activities that can be used with the software and…
