UNIT TITLE: Integrating Website Activities in Math for
Elementary Teachers Unit Goal: To integrate web-based activities
with text and hands-on manipulatives in the teaching of
mathematics content to pre-service teachers Unit Summary: The
four modules contained in this unit represent templates for the
inclusion of content based, interactive websites throughout a
semester long mathematics course for pre-service teachers. The
modules’ sequence is based on Chapters 2-5 of Mathematics for
Elementary School Teachers(Houghton Mifflin, 2nd Ed) by Tom
Bassarear. This text is supplemented by the text author’s
Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers: Explorations and a
Start with Manipulatives Kit from ETA/ Cuisenaire. In each
module, students are asked to explore and reflect on a given
content based website prior to classroom instruction. (A
recommended site is given for each module) Following content
instruction (which include additional web-based activities and
hands-on manipulatives, investigations and lecture) s
