[sage-edu] How using Sage for high school math effectively?

2009-12-08 Thread Chris Seberino
How are people using Sage for high school math effectively? I've tried a few things and discovered it isn't obvious how to use Sage effectively for high school students. (This isn't a fault of Sage, but rather, is caused by fact that good teaching is hard and students aren't simple machines.) Ch

John Perry kindly agreed to open-source license the full source of his excellent course notes for his class on math computation using Sage. I posted, with his explaicit permission, the notes to http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wdj/teaching/perry-math-computation-and-sage/ On Sat, Nov 21, 200

Maybe something like what John Perry did, http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wdj/teaching/perry-math-computation-and-sage/ but more toned down might work, if you are in a lab setting? On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 1:16 PM, Chris Seberino wrote: > How are people using Sage for high school math effecti

I can't claim it's effective, but so far this is what I'm doing - As much as possible I try to use the SAGE notebook as my blackboard. At the beginning of this year I had my students open their own SAGE notebook accounts as their first HW assignment. In my Analysis classes I enter the example pr

This might sound a bit tangential to some but in my mind is very relevant. I think using the Litvin text to create a Math/CS course would be awesome. I think what would further motivate students overwhelming to the point of forcing the faculty to seriously give this some consideration is a course t

Dear Jonathan and others, I am a webwork developer, though not one of the main developers. I have been successful at displaying a SAGE generated 3d plot from within webwork using the Jmol applet provided that the plot data file uses no pmesh input files. Sage generates a zipped plot data file sa
