into the Mathematics Classroom

Objective Look at alternative ways of presenting mathematics to
students which involve multi media to enhance learning for
the digital native or e generation.

Why Multi Media? Why Digital Education?
“Technology has always been an important factor for education, but the
rapid development of Internet and digital technology over the past decade
is changing more than just the equipment used in the classroom:
kids' learning styles and school behavior are constantly being shaped
by the growing presence of the Internet”. Marc Prenksy www.digitalnative.org
What? Who?
What is multi media?
In general, multimedia includes a combination of different content forms such as text, audio, still images, animation, video, and
interactivity.
Multimedia can recorded and played, displayed or accessed by
computerized and electronic devices and can also be part of a
live performance. Wikipedia
Who are we teaching?
A. The students who are truly self-motivated.
B. The students who go through the motions.
C. The students who “tune us out.” The motto of this group? “Engage me or Enrage me”
Rules of AcademicEngagement
1. Create a rewarding learning environment – make learning a social event
2. Put your students in charge of their learning
3. Specify your expectations
4. Provide early, rapid and continuous feedback
Professor William PelzState University of New York
The Continuum of Engagement
/--------------------------------------------------/“A” “B” “C”
A. Self-motivated students B. Students who ‘play school’
C. Students who tune us out

What is Cognitive Theory in Multi Media Learning?
Professor Richard Mayer has shown learners are better able to transfer their learning given multimodal instruction
Wikipedia
What is multi media learning and how can it foster learning?
1. Modality principle:
+
Students learn better from animation and narration than from animation, narration, and on-screen text“(Mayer, 2001,p.184)
2.The Redundancy Principle Limited Capacity Assumption
Where do your eyes focus during this?
a + b
a
+
b
a2 ab
ab b2
To Show Geometrically That (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
We are going to show geometrically that (a+b)2 = a2 +2ab + b2
The area of the first piece is a2
Split your square into four piecesThe area of the third piece is also abThe last piece is b2Let’s start off with a square with side a +b
The area of the second piece is ab
Use few words to summarise than many extraneous words and pictures.
3. Active Processing Assumption
Coherent summary
Multi Media
Richard Mayer defines multimedia as any environment where material is presented in more than one format

2. Custom animation- flash once/ disappear, motion paths and wiping
3. Sound effects
1. Basic Functions
Pen, writing, view slide show, saving annotations- saving students’ solutions.
2. Custom AnimationCustom animation- Flash Once / DisappearYou can make object appear to be moving using this custom animation option
Flash Once
You can make any object to appear to be moving using this custom animation option
Here you entrance flash once. Subsequent moons must start after previous.

Area of a Parallelogram
The area of a parallelogram
= the area of a rectangle on the
same base.Area = base x height
Area = base x height
Motion Paths
You can set any object on a motion path!
Such as a person walking across the Bridges of Konigsburg

Wiping chocolate milk
1) Draw cylinder container- unfill object
2) Draw second cylinder keep the filled colour
3) Select second cylinder and choose custom animation entrance-wipe

The Pi Project
The Quotient Rule Song
“The Quotient rule is driving me crazy
The rule is simpleJust remember, remember
Low dee hi, hi dee low and draw the line to square below
You can easily solve this”
The Quotient Rule Song
Sine Rule Song (Imagine)
“Imagine there’s no sine ruleIts easy if you tryNo a over Sin ANo b over Sin BNo c over Sin C
This is the Sine Rule Yooo hoo Find a missing angle
Or a missing sideOf a triangle
With the Sine Rule”

Students Teaching?
We remember:10% of what we read
20% of what we hear
30% of what we see
50% of what we see and hear
70% of what we discuss
80% of what we experience personally
90% of what we teach others

How do I integrate multi media in my classroom?

Start your own Youtube account
Tape your learning activity
Edit your footage
The Practical
Embedding Video onto your Learning Platform
I hope you feel inspired to join me on the journey from being a digital immigrant and using minimal multi media in the classroom to adopting and utilising the resources available to fully integrate multi media into the mathematics classroom to enhance the learning for the digital natives.
We have responsibility to engage not enrage our Digital Natives, Generation M our E generation…
Thank you
