Purpose of Today's Workshop
Today's workshop will introduce several classroom modules that focus on mathematics. Participants will learn how data analysis can be done with real world data available through Internet-based projects. Participants will also see examples of Internet-based mathematics projects that effectively incorporate interdisciplinary activities such as science and language arts. Additionally, a number of Internet mathematics resources will be examined.Examples of Collaborative Projects
