E-Math

E-Maths CD

A program designed to link Gifted and Talented Maths students from many different classrooms and offer them engaging and challenging alternatives to their every-day Maths program, without the students being out of their classrooms for long periods of time.

E-Maths uses ICT as its vehicle and e-mail as its communication forum. It develops not only the Maths skills of the students involved but also the ICT Thinking, Communication, Design, Personal and Interpersonal Learning skills.

With an E-Teacher co-ordinating the program and providing feedback to students and teachers, it means that students receive timely and helpful individual feedback and teachers are kept well informed as to the progress of students from their classes.

E-Maths
Last year after my introductory PD, I introduced “E-Maths” as a trial project to extend an enthusiastic group of grade 5 and 6 students. They were required to combine their communication and technological skills to tackle a variety of challenging maths activities. I was impressed by the student's positive response and also how effectively the E-Maths tasks engaged the inquiring minds of this talented group.
