Silverman, Jason; Rosen, Gail L.; Essinger, Steve – Mathematics Teacher, 2013
Students are immersed in a mathematically intensive, technological world. They engage daily with iPods, HDTVs, and smartphones--technological devices that rely on sophisticated but accessible mathematical ideas. In this article, the authors provide an overview of four lab-type activities that have been used successfully in high school mathematics…

Gould, Doug; Schmidt, Denise A. – Mathematics Teacher, 2010
Story problems are a part of most mathematics curricula and are sometimes used as writing exercises in mathematics classrooms. Such writing exercises may include requiring students to rewrite story problems in their own words, using language that is familiar to them, or rewriting story problems using simpler number facts. The current emphasis on…

Madden, Sean P. – Mathematics Teacher, 2009
The author and his first-year algebra students explored the quadratic behavior behind the parabolic shape of fountains at the local family splash park. This hands-on discovery project has three main parts: (1) gathering data by experimenting with and photographing the fountains; (2) analyzing the photographs to obtain numerical data; and (3)…
