TEACH MATHEMATICS WITH IMAGE PROCESSING!

WANTED: K-12 Mathematics Teachers To Participate
in Testing Experimental Learning Materials

Digital image processing is a powerful new technology that can add an exciting dimension to mathematics classes. The project "Mathematics Experiences Through Image Processing" (or METIP) has developed experimental software and student activities with the following objectives:

We are looking for teachers who are willing to use these materials in their classes and help us evaluate the materials. Teachers who are enrolled in the program will receive the following benefits:

In exchange we request that enrolled teachers help us in the following ways:

Here is a description of the "course" that these materials support.

These courses requires that each student have the use of a PC. The PC must be a 386, 486, or Pentium, with SVGA graphics, at least 4 MB RAM, running Windows 3.1.

Teachers will be asked to give students a questionnaires at the beginning and end of the course, and to report the following data by mail, or email: test responses, "log files" created by the software, and anecdotal information about the students' and teacher's experiences.

Timing:

The first testing phase is to take place between February 1, 1995 and April 30, 1995. Participating teachers should schedule the course to begin after February 1 and end before April 30. In the 5-hour course, students may participate one hour a day for five days (all in one week) or in any other distribution of the hours. (We are interested in finding out which arrangements work best.)

We would like to have all requests to participate by January 15. In the event that we receive more applications than we can support we may have to limit the level of support we provide to some. However, we expect to be able to handle most participants who apply.
