Individualized activity
An instructional module has been
created to help students learn
different
topics in mathematics. This module is based on each
person’s
name to arouse interest in learning mathematics. It
involves
mathematical concepts such as number sense, algebraic
thinking,
geometry, and statistical reasoning, as well as other
subjects
such as art and logo design. It helps to solve typical
problems
of high-school and college science, mathematics, statistics
and other
courses. With its abundant contents we can provide our
students
the basic mathematical knowledge needed for further study
in their
own fields. In this workshop, using this module with the
help of
calculator, solving complex algebraic expressions can be
quickly
done with CAS. We will show how our students find their own
individualized
algebraic DNA and to appreciate that making
mathematics
is simple, attractive, realistic and personalized. The
participants
will be expected to play with their calculators and
find their
own individualized algebraic expressions.
