Welcome
to WebMath, a mathematics learning community for all middle
school teachers. Through our online courses, teachers can
brush up on and learn two central concepts underlying the
NCTM Standards for middle school and many state math standards.
WebMath offers two courses—Brush up
on Linear Functions and Brush up on Proportions. The courses
are web-based, include Shockwave programs, can be housed any
server, and are used in conjunction with any email system
and a threaded forum. Chat and synchronous meetings can fit
into the course, too.
Participants should expect to devote an average of two hours
per week to the course. Ability to use the web and email,
and an interest in deepening one’s mathematical understanding
are the only prerequisites.
