LiveMath Labs is a collection of interactive mathematics laboratories providing hands-on experience with mathematical concepts and skills. Each lab is completely self-contained with interactives powered by LiveMath Maker and accompanying lab sheets full of descriptions, directions, leading questions, thought provoking hypotheses, and investigative report areas. The labs can be used for individual investigation or group explorations. They are ready to supplement any mathematics textbook, by bringing the text examples to life and allowing learners to manipulate the situation as their curiosity guides them. The labs can also be edited by any instructor and quickly tailored to energize the classroom discussion or activity. LiveMath Labs have been designed with student experience in mind.
Active students have a much better chance to acquire new skills and understand underlying concepts. Encouraging passive students to become active students requires an environment where they can be active. LiveMath Labs creates this environment. Enrich your current textbookıs presentation with an environment where students can control the examples. Here students can change prominent settings and compare the results. Here students can grab a hold of 3D representations and graphs and examine the shapes and regions in real time. Here students can extend the interactive situations to explore their own interests. Here students can experiment and investigate. Here students get experience. Here students learn.
Each LiveLabs Lab consists of one lab sheet, which guides the student through the investigation, and supporting interactives. The lab sheet begins with description and background and then provides step-by-step instructions on how to modify the values in the interactive followed by resources for collecting and comparing the resulting information or data. Each lab then follows up with a guided comparison from which students can describe their own hypotheses concerning the material. Finally, the student may check their hypotheses and further shape the interactive to explore their own thoughts and questions.
After gaining hands-on experience, viewing multiple representations, and authoring their own hypotheses students are much better prepared to read the textbook presentation, follow a teacherıs explanation, discuss concepts and skills with their classmates, or tackle homework problem...activities in which only active students can participate.
