Using technology to transform the core curriculum
|
| The SimCalc Projects believes that technology provides essential means to restructure this curriculum in order to: |
| • | Democratize access to important and powerful ideas |
| • | Build much more longitudinal coherence between early and later years |
| • | Focus on the growth of big ideas and their roots in everyday human experience |
| • | Crack the formalism barrier by providing multiple ways of working with mathematical ideas, using the full range of human linguistic, visualization and cognitive capacities |
| • | Increase efficiency by teaching several important ideas simultaneously |
| • | Make room for more modern mathematics, moving out of the 19th century and into the 21st |
