Entry slip: 1-Sentence Description of 3 Articles

Objective of this inquiry project with my partner, Jacob Brunner:

We will focus on online math learning for students in both elementary and secondary schools. We will also explore the possible effective math online learning tools that support students with differing learning abilities, such as students with special needs, ELL learners, and gifted students.

Article 1:

Akpan, J. P., & Beard, L. A. (2014). Assistive Techology and Math Education. Universal Journal of Education Research, 2(3), 219-222.

The article describes various assistive technological devices as a math tool to help teachers in delivering instructions and to support all students with varying learning needs and skills as listed in the objective.

Article 2:

Kim, C., Park, S., & Cozart, J. (2014). Affective and motivational factors of learning in online mathematics courses. British Journal of Educational Technology, 45(1), 171-185.

The article investigates the factors that help students excel in online math courses, and it reports that online math courses are more successful than others due to the emotional and motivational aspect of learning in K-12 students.

Article 3:

Serianni, B. A., & Coy, K. (2014). Doing the Math: Supporting Students with Disabilities in Online Courses. TEACHING Exceptional Children, 46(5), 102-109.

The article provides a framework of practical ideas and factors for parents and teachers to successfully guide younger students with disabilities in virtual math classrooms.
