Eric.ed.gov – Math on the Web: A Status Report.

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: This publication reports on resources on the Web for the area of math. A quick look is given at innovative sites under the areas of new resources for students, new ways for teachers and students to interact, new ways of presenting math, and new tools for research. Next, advantages and disadvantages are identified for each of the following technologies: HTML pages with GIF images for equations; Adobe Acrobat (PDF); IBM Techexplorer pages; server-side programming (CGI, Perl, Java, ASP scripts, etc.); and HTML and components (Design Science WebEQ, IBM Techexplorer components). Standards for math communication on the Web are then discussed. A list of the standards that Math on the Web developers should be considered with is given, along with the role each standard plays in the HTML… Continue Reading

tandfonline.com – A Web Simulator to Assist in the Teaching of Bayes’ Theorem

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: Abstract Formulae display:?Mathematical formulae have been encoded as MathML and are displayed in this HTML version using MathJax in order to improve their display. Uncheck the box to turn MathJax off. This feature requires Javascript. Click on a formula to zoom. Abstract Teaching some concepts in statistics greatly benefits from individual practice with immediate feedback. In order to provide such practice to a large number of students we have written a simulator based on an historical event: the loss in May 22, 1968, and subsequent search for the nuclear submarine USS Scorpion. Students work on a simplified version of the search and can see probabilities change in response to new evidence. The simulator is designed to assist in the teaching… Continue Reading

tandfonline.com – Web Scraping in the Statistics and Data Science Curriculum: Challenges and Opportunities

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: Abstract Abstract Best practices in statistics and data science courses include the use of real and relevant data as well as teaching the entire data science cycle starting with importing data. A rich source of real and current data is the web, where data are often presented and stored in a structure that needs some wrangling and transforming before they can be ready for analysis. The web is a resource students naturally turn to for finding data for data analysis projects, but without formal instruction on how to get that data into a structured format, they often resort to copy-pasting or manual entry into a spreadsheet, which are both time consuming and error-prone. Teaching web scraping provides an opportunity to… Continue Reading
