Issues and Problems in Mathematics InstructionImplementing Principles and Standards

Must change the style of teaching– Must be student centered– Must be active– Must be relevant to the world we live in

Technology selection and use– Appropriate combination off- and on-computer activities– Math tool rather than pedagogical tool– Tool for developing student thinking– http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn7rHDRljO0&featur
