Title
Enhancement of the Facilities in Mathematics Room
Project No:
2006/0198
Description
promoting interactive teaching pedagogies for Seconday 1 to 4 students through setting up 23-workstation information technology centre to conduct project-based learning for Mathematics
Purpose of the Project
The aim of this project is to update the hardware and software in "Mathematics Classroom", to allow teachers build a "Collaborating Learning" environment, increase students' motivation in Mathematics learning and help students understand some complex Mathematics concepts with the updated equipment, to fulfill the requirement of "New Senior Secondary Curriculum" school-based evaluation for teachers and students.

Design /methodology /approach
To create a learning atmosphere of Mathematics with the hardware and software in "Mathematics Classroom", and provide student-oriented learning experience.
Findings /Results /Evaluation of the Project
The desktops in in "Mathematics Classroom" were updated successfully by the winning bidders(PCCW and Citi-dic), more than 10 students joined the testing. Teachers conducted some "Collaborating Learning" lessons for students from F.1 to F.7 and help students in trainings for Mathematics competition. Three seminars of experience sharing of multimedia teaching were conducted for teachers .
