Rust, Amber
MathAMATYC Educator, v4 n1 p11-16 Sep 2012
A couple of years ago, I gave a presentation to a group of secondary-school girls who were attending a workshop at a community college. The workshop's purpose was to encourage the girls to keep taking mathematics courses while in high school and beyond, in order to increase their future opportunities. The presentation was titled, "Where Can I Find Help with Math When the Teacher or the Textbook Don't Make Sense? Besides, It's Really Late and I'm Tired!" It was meant to make them aware, as digital natives, of the vast resources available on the Internet to help with their homework. Unexpectedly, I found that the teachers who accompanied the girls seemed to be more interested in the information presented. Those teachers and the mathematics instructors at the community college have found the resources I compiled to be very useful.
