This project brings together a diverse group of technologists, including tinkerers, Makers, web developers, and inclusive designers. Building on the design of the PhET sim Ratio and Proportion, we ...

With an average of 30 students in each of a city high school teacher’s five classes, one can imagine the cumbersome nature of providing feedback for every child, every day. Nonetheless, we hold ...

The real award is that you competed. The golden ratio is famous, but maybe more so as an image of a nautilus shell with a rectangle drawn around it than as the actual idea of the ratio it embodies: “A ...

The new question-of-the-week is: How can project-based learning be used in math class? Project-based learning is a popular instructional strategy for many subjects, though it is not used as much in ...

There was a time that I thought that understanding math was more useful than memorizing it. A certain amount of memorization is essential, especially for lower-level math. For example, you need to ...

It is just as natural for young children to think mathematically about their world as it is for them to use language. They develop mathematical knowledge as they manipulate objects and reason about ...
