Hi, What is the organization of this team? Is there a leader or leaders?
Karlie and I seem to be the leaders.
Is there anyone on the team who is looking into the research on pedagogy and about what work and what doesn't for Math instruction?
The only hesitation I have here is if we allow long pedagogical discussions to slow down work.
The goals here are deliberately simple:* Identify a set of learning objectives, as defined by existing curriculum guidelines. We've chosen Massachusetts 4th grade math: http://sugarlabs.org/go/User:Gdk/4th_Grade_Maths
* Create activities that can tackle each of these objectives individually, in a modular way.
* One by one, create a set of activities that ultimately address every learning objective in the 4th grade math framework.
Any research that can help inform this very particular goal is welcome. --g -- Got an XO that you're not using? Loan it to a needy developer! [[ http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_Exchange_Registry ]]
