Professional inquiry project:
Using Math Application Resources as a
Learning Tool in the Classroom
OUTLINE/ RATIONALE:
Our school has recognized that our students are particularly low in basic math skills and have low math achievement. The effects of math applications on student understanding and formative assessment are well documented within research. A variety of sources show a positive correlation between math applications and an increase in students’ assessment and testing results. By engaging in this Professional Inquiry Project we hope to develop application resources and strategies that teachers can use to increase student motivation and success in math class and to better understand the relationship between interactive mathematical learning applications and level of achievement.
