293- Constructivist Cautions: Promoting Concept Development with Computers and Manipulatives

Thursday, April 26, 2012: 3:30 PM-4:30 PM
Franklin Hall 2 (Marriott Downtown)
Lead Speaker:
Roger P. Johanson

How do children learn math meaningfully with teachers’ help? NCTM's standards embrace constructivism, but teachers naturally tend toward telling. The speaker will review constructivist environments, Illuminations and National Library of Virtual Manipulatives applets, and novel manipulative use, and offer teaching suggestions and cautionary tales.
