Mathematics CAI in the Classroom
Judy M. Barnes
The purpose of this study was to evaluate computer assisted instruction (CAI) materials developed to teach concepts of polynomials to Grade 12 students. These materials were designed (under contract from Alberta Education) by staff of the Apple Innovation Support Center (AISC) 1 , at the University of Alberta, to meet the objectives of the Mathematics 30 curriculum (advanced diploma Grade 12 course) in use in Alberta. The polynomials unit from the CAI materials (about 10 percent of the 125-hour mathematics course) was studied.
