Classroom Connectivity in Mathematics and Science

This project is an interdisciplinary effort focused on teaching and learning of mathematics and science at the 7th-10th grade, a critical juncture in young people's lives. Products of this research promise to aid in mathematics and science conceptual development by improving classroom formative assessment, classroom discussion, and to expose and correct student alternative understandings. This study proposes to draw teachers from across the nation and guide research in the interaction of pedagogy and technology for promoting greater student achievement.
