Scientific paper

The SimCalc Project (http://www.simcalc.umassd.edu) has developed an integration of technology and curriculum based upon learning science principles and aimed at democratizing access to the mathematics of change and variation. Beginning in middle school, we introduce the topics of proportionality, function, and rate of change though multiple representations. In a large scale randomized experiment, we are testing replacement units based upon this approach with approximately 100 7th grade and 80 8th grade teachers. This talk will discuss results from our work and implications for science instruction, for example, for the feasibility of a physics-first sequence beginning in 9th grade.
