Creating, Collaborating and Computing in Math
Enhancing the teaching and learning of mathematics using
technology
Riverside School Board and McGill University 2013-2016
Why this project? Student success in mathematics
Focus on the transition from elementary to secondary
Digital literacy
Initial funding for 3 years (Sept 2013 - Aug 2016)
Overview (1)
Goals Teachers and consultants engage in
on-going, sustained professional learning
For the benefit of student learning
Use of data to monitor and orient practice, inquiry, and learning
Overview (2)
What knowledge do “we” (teachers, school board pedagogical consultants, and educational researchers) need in order to improve students’ understanding, and integrate digital tools meaningfully into this practice shift?
How can we engage in the most promising professional development experiences to achieve the above practice shift in a sustainable way?
How can we use student-learning data to monitor progress and adapt practice toward the goal of developing digital literacy and disciplinary understanding?
Research Questions
Foster a community of practice in mathematics teaching and digital tools
Develop collective understandings of the situation
Develop practice in terms of using digital tools for ourselves and for students
Sharing, reflection, inquiry Consolidating a long-term partnership
between RSB and McGill
