Democratizing the Math of Change
The SimCalc project seeks to democratize access to the mathematics of change, making challenging math concepts accessible to ordinary middle school students. The project teaches core concepts in the strand that leads to Algebra and eventually to Calculus. To accomplish this, we develop and study restructured curriculum and innovative graphing technologies, seeking an integration that supports students in developing a robust, integrated, multi-faceted understanding of the concept of "rate of change."
