Equations are often used in mathematics and other subjects, which means that a media can teach students how to solve equations, particularly linear equations of two variables, or "Sistem Persamaan Linear Dua Variabel" (SPLDV) as it is called in Indonesian, is needed. However, most teachers are still focused on developing the learning…

The purpose of this paper is to provide a narrative of work in progress to validate a math app designed for number sense. To date I have conducted classroom research and pilot studies across ten early childhood classrooms in two schools and will begin an empirical study at the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year. Through my work I believe the…

This qualitative study was conducted to identify the potential of using iPad as a supplement to teach math to students with learning disabilities. Ten teacher candidates from a university in the south provided one-on-one math tutoring services to ten students in a self-contained classroom at a local high poverty elementary school. The students…

Research for Better Schools, Inc. (RBS) has three major components in its individualized learning program--Individually Prescribed Instruction (IPI), Automated Learning Management System (ALMS), and computer assisted instruction (CAI). IPI is an instructional system based on a specific set of educational objectives and has correlated to these…

This is a general information document describing the Hertfordshire Computer Managed Mathematics Project funded over a four-year period by the National Development Programme in Computer Assisted Learning. Its aims were to develop a two-year course for all-ability 11-to 13-year-old pupils and to implement a computer system to serve the course. This…

Discussed is computer use at High Valley, a small private tutorial school in rural Dutchess County, New York. (MP)

To meet the need for advanced placement (AP) calculus instruction in Virginia schools faced with a teacher shortage and small enrollments, the Virginia Department of Education in cooperation with schools and television stations is developing a high technology advanced placement credit course. The course has eight components: (1)…

A description and evaluation are provided of the ISCI (Individualized Supplementary Calculus Instruction) project. ISCI is a computer-based resource that can be used with any text or computer system. If a student fails to solve homework problems, he can provide information about his attempted solution through a teletype or other computer terminal.…

The results of an evaluation of various aspects of the Instructional System in Mathematics (ISM) are presented. ISM is an objectives-based, computer-supported, management system which builds upon a previously developed mathematics curriculum. Questionnaires to school-based personnel and students, in-school observations, and interviews, were used…

Work with PLATO, a computer-based teaching system which provides a means for individualizing instruction, is described. Children sit at terminals and respond to directives and questions on the screen by touching it or by typing a message. PLATO responds, and prescribes work in accordance with the child's previous performance. Curricular materials…

Using a $274,300 grant from the National Science Foundation, Miami-Dade Community College augmented its Mathematics Learning Center with a multi-media, computer-assisted program of individualized instruction designed to efficiently aid the growing number of students with mathematics deficiencies. This program has three interlocking components. The…

Costs and production requirements for developing "mainline," as distinguished from "adjunct" computer-assisted instruction (CAI), are discussed. "Mainline" programs are complete systems which teach an entire course, while "adjunct" programs supplement a regular course. Mainline CAI programs are expensive. A course equivalent to a three-credit…

The assessment and placement system used in the Mathematics Learning Center of the New World Center campus of Miami-Dade Community College uses two test inventories: (1) a multiple choice mathematics test geared to the course which the student wants to pursue; and (2) the Canfield-Lafferty Learning Styles Inventory designed to determine an…

The first of a three-part series on computer-assisted instruction (CAI), this report describes 11 exemplary programs across the country that involve the use of microcomputers for instruction in computer science, mathematics, and science at the elementary and secondary levels. At the head of each description are the name and address of the school…
