Teaching Mathematics Using Interactive Mapping
Author: Sandra L. ArlinghausPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1003804209
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
Teaching Mathematics Using Interactive Mapping offers novel ways to learn basic math topics such as simple relational measures or measuring hierarchies through customized interactive mapping activities. These activities focus on interactive web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) and are relevant to today’s problems and challenges. Written in a guided, hands-on, understandable manner, all activities are designed to build practical and problem-solving skills that rest on mathematical principles and move students from thinking about maps as references that focus solely on "where is" something, to analytical tools, focusing primarily on the "whys of where." Success with this transition through interaction permits most readers to master mathematical concepts and GIS tools. FEATURES Offers custom-designed geographical activities to fit with specific mathematical topics Helps students become comfortable using mathematics in a variety of professions Provides an innovative, engaging, and practical set of activities to ease readers through typically difficult, often elementary, mathematical topics: fractions, the distributive law, and much more Uses web-based GIS maps, apps, and other tools and data that can be accessed on any device, anywhere, at any time, requiring no prior GIS background Written by experienced teachers and researchers with lifelong experience in teaching mathematics, geography, and spatial analysis Features an accompanying Solution Guide, available on the book's product page, that is beneficial for instructors, students, and other readers as an aid to gauging progress. This textbook applies to undergraduate and graduate students in universities and community colleges including those in basic mathematics courses, as well as upper-level undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in geographic information systems, remote sensing, photogrammetry, geography, geodesy, information science, engineering, and geology. Professionals interested in learning techniques and technologies for collecting, analyzing, managing, processing, and visualizing geospatial datasets will also benefit from this book as they refresh their knowledge in mathematics.
Learning Progressions for Maps, Geospatial Technology, and Spatial Thinking

Pages : 105
Book Description
As an approach to educational research, learning progressions offer considerable potential for investigating how children develop an understanding of geographic concepts and practices across grade bands and in relation to national geography standards. With funding support from the US National Science Foundation, this book was created as a resource for researching learning progressions for maps, geospatial technology and spatial thinking. Featuring contributions from experts in geography, math and science education, the book's chapters offer advice, examples and guidance on the following topics: · Definitions of learning progressions with examples from geography, math and science education; · Discussion of relevant research on spatial cognition, map learning and GIS education; · Approaches to constructing samples and assessment items for quantitative studies; · Demonstration of how to perform validity tests of research instruments; · Demonstration and practice of qualitative methods, including clinical interviews; · How to interpret quantitative and qualitative data; · Common errors, pitfalls and obstacles in learning progressions research; · Strategies for working with teachers and students in K-12 classrooms. The interdisciplinary nature of the book will appeal to graduate students, higher education faculty and school teachers in several subject areas.
