Off School Mathematics Education Through Web.

Abstract

With the emergence of high stake international comparative surveys and tests, the scope and sequence of school mathematics in many countries become to be oriented to high achievement of students. Therefore, mathematics education in school become to be limited in its variety and richness. This situation can be paraphrased ?Mathematics education become to be straight jacketed by the demand of high achievement. On the other hand, mathematics education off school looks very lean comparing with science education. Mathematics education off school, for example, through Web, can be the power option to people who want to learn better and rich mathematics in the near future. In order to resolve above situation and to provide a wide variety of rich mathematics, Tokyo University of Science (TUS) and Tokyo Metropolitan Television (MXTV) jointed and started the Project TUS/MXTV Web Mathematics in 2003. This project is funded by Japan Society of Promotion of Science. ?TUS/MXTV Web Mathematics will provide a wide variety of mathematics content to mainly high school students off the schools. In the web page, four digital videos that deal rich mathematics in unique manner will be broadcasted through digital streaming technology, and contents related to the videos will be included.
