An Overview of the Modules

The following modules are designed to incorporate technology in a general studies mathematics class. The technology that has been integrated includes various types of calculators, computers (mainly using spreadsheets), and the Internet.

Many of the activities that are set up to be done using a calculator could also be revamped to use a spreadsheet on a computer.

The activities are designed to help students develop skills in problem solving, improve communication skills (both written and oral), and deepen their understanding of the mathematics being covered. Some of the activities were chosen because they cover topics with which students in this type of class have a problem. The activities can be revised to meet the needs of each instructor and his or her particular class.
