Purpose

This CD supports the teaching of number and arithmetic from early primary into junior secondary years. It explains the important mathematical principles underlying the subject and demonstrates how these can be explained to students and shows both expert performance and intermediate stages. It is useful for both practising teachers and teacher education students.

Development Team

Kyla Marston - Project Director and editor

Kyla ran the project for its duration and had a wide range of tasks which included; content development, assembling content, editing, negotiating with academic advisors and technical staff, integrating technologies, creating web pages, making movies, troubleshooting, producing timelines and progress reports, adhering to the budget, and organising production and distribution of the CD-ROM.

Kaye Stacey - Project Leader and editor

Kaye devised the original concept behind the CD-ROM, particularly the QuickTime movies. Kaye also edited and advised on all topics and contributed to the Teaching Connections components. Some of the content from the Teaching and Learning about Whole Numbers web site, which was created by Kaye Stacey and Nancy Varughese, has been included on this CD-ROM.

Gary Asp - Academic Advisor

Gary was the content expert for the development of the Fractions topic and can be heard on the CD-ROM providing thorough explanations on some Fractions and Whole numbers movies.
