Segments of the CCC curriculum can be used to support regular classroom instruction. For example, Math Investigations presents real-world problems, and Math Processor offers tools for modeling concepts and analyzing data. CCC resources open up many new instructional opportunities. Writing process tools can help students brainstorm ideas, organize their thoughts, and create projects. CCC's mathematics and science courseware offers many online tools and simulations appropriate for use from grade 4-12 and even with adult learners.
Collaborative activities encourage students to think, reason and validate their findings.
Two or three students can work together on the CCC courseware, and teachers will enjoy the benefits that come from student collaboration. Students can work together in many ways. They can collaborate on investigative activities provided in Math Investigations, Amazonia, and The Virtual BioPark. They can actively share the simulations, tools and online activities in high school programs such as Tangible Math and Tangible Science. They can complete cloze activities, use analytical strategies through idea-processing tools, and respond to writing activities in CCC's language arts programs.
