1. The document discusses various software tools that can be used in science and mathematics classrooms. It describes inquiry-based approaches, virtual labs, models and simulations for science and skills practice, modeling, simulations, problem-solving apps and calculation tools for math.
2. It also discusses comprehensive software solutions that align with standards and provide assessment tools for teachers. However, these may not fully reflect student learning on their own.
3. When using such tools, teachers should determine appropriateness, avoid overuse, support students, and not assume tools can replace all instruction. Software can help engage and support learners like those with disabilities or who struggle with specific topics.

9. Science
1. Inquiry-Based and Problem-Solving Approaches
● Engaging students in investigating a situation or problem.
● Including information for students to consider and asks them to make
decisions based on the information.
● Students use debate techniques or jigsaw strategies
● Rely on contrived situations or real data
◀ ex) Science Court
10. Science
2. Virtual Labs and Simulations
● Engaging in lab-based activities that would be difficult or impossible
in the regular classroom.
● Chemistry labs can be carried out safely on the computer.
.
◀ ex) Roller Coaster simulation
11. Science
3. Models and Demonstrations
● Software that demonstrates otherwise-inaccessible phenomena.
● Measurement in Motion allows students to analyze those motions as
well as to see particular kinds of motions.
◀ ex) Cells Alive!
13. Science
4. Science Software for Young Learners
● Software that concentrates scientific processes -the means of
approaching problems
● It focuses on introducing students to such scientific activities as obse
rvation and hypothesis generation.
ex) Sammy’s Science House ▶
14. Mathematics
1. Skills Practice
● Math skills software that helps students learn why (to understand Why
rather than just to know).
● skills software should provide students with opportunities to try
different answers, to see multiple representations, and to move beyond
simple recall.
ex) Piggy in Numberland
15. Mathematics
2. Modeling Software
●Mathematical software allows students to create and manipulate either
data sets modeling or representations of their problems, so they can
explore various features.
●These manipulations can range from simple explorations of the
properties of shapes to more this category allows students to work with
fractions in ways that are impossible with paper and to analyze data from
their own data collection efforts.
ex) Java MathWorlds
17. Mathematics
3. Simulations
● This engage students in a gamelike atmosphere where they run some ki
nd of business.
● students can improve math, problem-solving, communication skills.
● teacher has to structure the activity to focus on the learning goals stude
nts should meet.
ex) Hot Dog Stand ▶

4. Problem-Solving Applications
● Helping students develop problem solving skill than on developing
further mathematical skills.
● In this Software, students are provided with a contextualized
mathematics situation.
● Students are responsible for determining what the problem is that
they’re trying to solve, what information is important for solving it, and
what mathematical operations they’ll need to use.
ex) Zoombinis Logical Journey
Math Mysteriesz
◀ex) Zoombinis Logical Journey
20. Mathematics
5. Calculation Tools
● Not only calculate but can be used for analysis and modeling as well.
● Although using calculation tools is controversial, these can often be us
ed to enhance math classes.
● Teachers have to determine whether these tools would add to the
lesson or detract from it.
ex) Excel
Graphing calculator
Texas Instruments Calculation
◀ex) Graphing Calculator
22. Comprehensive Software Solutions
● Comprehensive Software Solution states standards in each of the content
areas and provide management tools for teachers to gauge their students’
learning.
● However, it has flawed, they show merely that students improved from
beginning to the end of the academic year. They don’t consider that other
forms of instruction took place.
● Teacher will have the opportunity to determine when and whether these
tools may be appropriate for your classroom.

24. SITUATION
Situation 1.
Tom is a physically challenged person. One day, math teacher hand out
homework, which draw graphs after solving the problem. Tom could solve the problem
easily. However he couldn’t draw the graph because of his physically disability.
If you were the teacher, how can you help Tom? what kind of software can support Tom?

25. SITUATION
Situation 2.
Eric really hates biologics class.
This time he learned about the process of cell division. Although all of his friends was
fun, Eric is not fun. Because this is difficult to understand.
Eric has been very bored in biologics.
If you were the teacher, How can you help Eric? What kind of software can support Eric?

Situation 3.
What should be considered when teacher use “Comprehensive Software
Solutions“ ?
① determine when and whether these tools may be appropriate for your classroom.
② Instruct students to overuse this program.
③ Even though it is too hard to students, Say “Just do it!”
④ Teacher doesn’t try to support students.
