Adding technology to geometry class improves opportunities to learn

A new study co-written by a University of Illinois expert in math education suggests that incorporating technology in high school-level geometry classes not only makes the teaching of concepts such as congruency easier, it also empowers students to discover other geometric relationships they wouldn’t ordinarily uncover when more traditional methods of instruction were used.

Australia: Math in crisis as teachers go private

Education

Advanced mathematics is disappearing from public school classrooms, leaving students able to learn only basic math, because the few qualified teachers are being snapped up by the private sector. Source: The Australian by Andrew Trounson.
