Multimedia Lesson Plans For Mathematics
Many forms of media can be used in math lesson plans placing the medium in the role of both instructor and as a tool used by the “live” instructor. This article touches on only a few but may give you some ideas for similar ways to do this in your classroom. One educator who developed and employed multimedia into math lessons found that:
- mathematical vocabulary of the students increased (and they made a more conscious effort to USE the correct terminology)
- students asked more questions
- response quality improved
Why Math is Important
As a private Math tutor I get asked this question a lot. I sit there explaining how to solve a simultaneous equation and I get interrupted by the student who demands to know how this will help them in life.
