Goal of Mass Media in Mathematics

The sole intention of this blog is build ideas of understanding and uses of integrating technology into a mathematics classroom. Throughout this blog, one should begin to understand and build their own beliefs as to how to introduce technological advances and media sources into their classrooms that help to advance student performance in the classroom.

Calculators and Paula's Peaches

During class today my students began working on a task entitled Paula's Peaches Revisited. This task consisted of a task that they were first introduced to back as freshman in Math 1. The idea behind the task is to introduce the students to the Quadratic Formula and just how to use it. The type of technology that my students use most in my class, and much of today, is a calculator. Some students have personal graphing calculators, which allows them to do many fascinating things. However, most are restricted to using basic scientific calculators.
