Applying mathematics (Times Article)
One of the questions every mathematics teacher is regularly asked is “When are we ever going to use these things?” This is probably the hardest question to answer in a satisfactory manner! We talk about the applications of mathematics in physics, engineering and computer science. It is today becoming more important for students to attain a higher level of numerical literacy - Christina Zarb Since I deal with many IT students, my favourite answer is “Google! Of course we can, many should be thinking. Mathematics is a compulsory subject throughout primary and secondary education – it is considered, and rightly so, a core subject throughout these highly important formation years, and a pass at Ordinary level is fundamental in order to continue one’s studies at post-secondary and tertiary level. After secondary school, students have to choose which combination of Advanced and Intermediate level subjects to pursue, keeping in mind the University degree they would like to read for.

Facebook in Math Class
Using Social Networking In During the first term, in the 2010-2011 school year, I created a Facebook group called “Notre Dame Math Discussion”. As of March 2011, there are 102 students in my Facebook group. In the semester I implemented Facebook, I had a total of 113 students. I implemented Facebook, mostly, to my Math 20 Pure classes which totaled 92 students. During the semester, I assigned specific questions that needed to be answered using the math discussion group. Each student was given a slip of paper with different function notations on it. Another example from my Math 31 class: As a class we graphed 3 functions from their equations. These tasks were not required to be completed on Facebook; I did still allow for students to complete these tasks the “traditional” way, on paper and hand it in to me in class. For some students who did not have the necessary technology at home, I provided my own classroom computer to use Facebook. Students used this site above and beyond expectations.
Math Chat - Solve Problems Together in Real Time
This is a guest post from Sabba Quidwai (@AskMsQ) of EdTechTeacher - an advertiser on this site. Recently, I attended the EdSurge Summit in Los Angeles where I had the chance to take a first hand look at a great, new, FREE app called MathChat. We can all relate to a similar, enormous challenge while growing up: being stuck on a math problem with no one to help. As a result, we oftentimes turned to the back of the book. MathChat has a special keyboard so that students can easily type in their math problems, or they have the option of drawing onto the screen. Another great feature included in this app is the ability to check your answers. Above all, MathChat helps to enhance and develop communication, critical thinking, and collaboration - key skills emphasized in the Common Core Standards. To learn more from Sabba, come can see her present at the November 13-14 EdTechTeacher iPad Summit in Boston where I will also be a Featured Speaker.

Applets are very useful in mathematical explorations, so I made list of more than 8000 applets from 10 different websites and blogs below. I hope you’ll find them helpful. Analyze Math.
4 Math Add ons for Google Docs
This is a guest post from Jennfer Carey (@TeacherJenCarey) of EdTechTeacher, an advertiser on this site. Google Docs is a popular word processing tool. However, many people don’t realize that there are 4 great add-ons for Math that allow teachers and students to harness the power of Google. You can add any of these features to a Google Doc by selecting Add-ons → Get Add-ons. g(Math) is a popular tool for Math students and teachers. It allows you to create robust expressions and graphs that you can insert directly into your Google Doc. By incorporating Add-ons, teachers and students can expand the power of Google Docs beyond word processing and editing. To learn more about working with Google Apps consider attending EdTechTeacher's upcoming Google Jamboree.
