| Traversing Parallel Lines: A Long Distance Pilot Partnership to Articulate Geometric Problem Solving for Students and Enable Action Research for Teachers |
Guided by two expert high school geometry teachers, two
classes of students (one in Iowa and one in Boston) will
discuss geometric concepts through distance education
technologies. The goal of this project is to link writing
and mathematics and investigate the effect of language on
understanding and performance in mathematics. The research
team is cross-disciplinary: one professor of mathematics,
one professor of English, two teachers, and sixty in two
very different geographic areas.
