2.+Introduction

Hi everyone,

This Wiki is designed to help teachers teach mathematics in a meaningful, fun and relevant way. This site will consist of curriculum materials; online resources as well as a student place where examples of students creating with web 2.0 tools will be added. Teachers often don't think of integrating ICT's and mathematics so this is a place that will hopefully help that be a thing of the past. The student place will demonstrate problem-based learning and take the form of a mathematics and technology based problem that students will need to solve using web 2.0 tools.

The focus for this Wiki will be for teaching year five students. The activities and student samples are based around the Essential Learnings for year five mathematics, technology and ICT as a cross-curricular priority. The student page is focused around a technology and mathematics task which asks that students engage in problem based learning to design their 'wish bedroom'. The Wiki student place will provide students opportunity to a safe place to post their completed work samples and any pictures they take of their finial diorama product. Through the Wiki discussion section students can then give each other feedback and ask each other questions on any issues they may be having. Students are struggling in mathematics and are below the national average standards. The content in the online resources section stretches across the mathematics Essential Learnings and is designed to give students multiple experiences with using the knowledge they learn in the classroom.

Overall we hope that this Wiki site is an enjoyable way for all students to engage in mathematics in a new and exciting way!
