 Teacher Review (Based on classroom experience)Reviewer: Glenys, Sep 11 2011 08:27:53:950PM |
Classroom use in Courses and Topics: Math 6: Rect coordinate geometry |
Duration of classroom use: One Class |
What did students learn? That the cartesian plane has 4 quatrants and each position has it's own unique order pair. |
What did students do with the resource? While the tool was on the smart board they predicted what the order pair would be for a new position. |
How hard was it for students to use? Easy |
Other classroom comments: Students found the tool very easy to use but the concept of the intergers and the 4 quadrants was a new concept so the activity was not easy. |
Appropriate for: introduction to a concept, practice of skills and understandings, applications of a concept or technique |
Other Comments: great tool to allow students to predict how the numbers in the order pairs change. |
What math does one need to know to use the resource? intergers, ordered pairs, |
What hardware expertise does one need to learn to use the resource? none |
What extra things must be done to make it work? none |
How hard was it for you to learn? Very Easy |
Explanation: The first instruction stated to drag the dot, that was all the direction needed. |
Ability to meet my goals: Effective |
Recommended for: Math 6: Integers, Rect coordinate geometry |
Tool: The Coordinate (Cartesian) Plane - Math Open Reference: Review
