Mathematics of Data ManagementThe Fields Institute Mathematics Education Forum formed the MDM4U Task
Force. The task force was given the mandate of producing resources for
teachers in the implementation of the new OSS Mathematics Course MDM4U,
The Mathematics of Data Management. This course requires a culminating
project as part of the expectations for students. Over the past two
years the task force has met regularly. Presentations were made to teachers
at the O.A.M.E. (Ontario Association of Mathematics Educators) Annual
Conference both in 2001 and 2002. Materials produced by the task force
include a collection of thoughts and activities that support the teaching
of MDM4U, as well as recommendations for tracking the project, and supports
for using ESTAT and Fathom. Through Brock University and guidance from
Eric Muller, Sherrie Dyke and Bruce Petrie were commissioned to prepare
a sample culminating project as an example of what student work might
look like. It includes annotations for teachers. The MDM4U program website is hosted by Brock University at: Members of the committee:Shirley Dalrymple, York Region District School Board (co-chair) Steve Brown, University of Waterloo |
