Making Connections Using Embedded Software
Claire Groden and Laurie Pattison-Gordon
The NCTM’s Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics ( 1989) calls for increased attention to “connecting mathematics to other subjects and to the world outside the classroom.” Often, these connections are made with interdisciplinary projects and through the study of mathematics in a real-world situation. We can also make connections by using software created for practical, real-world applications in the mathematics classroom.
