Measurement Geoboards, Fractions and Decimal Blocks Students use geoboards to create geometric shapes and better understand the relationship of area and perimeter and gives them a better understanding of angles and degrees. IntelliMathics enables students to use on-screen geoboards. And added advantage is that virtual rubber bands stay in one place and are never dropped or flung across the room. IntelliMathics also exposes students to fraction bars and decimal blocks and give students a visual way to understand the relationship between size and number symbols. On-screen fraction bars change visually as the numerator and denominator vary thus providing immediate feedback and opportunities for further exploration.
Students can answer questions and use manipulatives or numbers to display their results.
Summary This session will explain the scope and sequence of IntelliMathics. The participants will learn a wide range of curriculum adaptation strategies as they use this versatile software tool. In addition, each participant will receive a Demo CD that includes demo versions of many of the products discussed in this workshop.
