Math 2.0Math 2.0Using Dynamic Math

Software in a Web 2.0 World

Who is CLIME?• 1986. Washington NCTM. Logo-interest

group meeting.

• Committee formed which turned into CLIME - Council for Logo in Math Education.

• 1988. CLIME becomes an affiliate of NCTM.

• 1992. Low tech visibility. Delegate Assembly win. No advisory board was ever formed as a result. So much for CLIME’s lobbying power.

The Clime Saga continues• 1994. CLIME changes its name to Council

for Logo & Technology in Math Education. Why? Sketchpad.

• 1997. Logo is dropped but not the L.

• 2000. NCTM makes Technology a Principle.

• 2007. Computer labs dropped. Complaint: Mostly used for checking email.

• 2008. Blog campaign begins as Web 2.0 stirs imaginations

• 2010. The Math 2.0 phenomenon.

So what is Math 2.0 and how will it help?

• Math education involving social networking• Math education using web 2.0 tools• Using Web 2.0 to build knowledge and share knowledge of

math concepts• Maths anywhere, anytime, for anyone• The ability of any skill level to place mathematics on any social

networking site• Math created and shared between people.• Math that you create and/or contribute to, rather than just

passively receive• Math that is interactive among teachers and students• For me math 2.0 is collaborating and connecting with others on

problem solving, math thinking & learning• ... interactive, participatory, engaging... you know... the stuff

that you don't get with textbooks.• Math that is interactive and communicative• Breaking math into concepts, and components, and methods

that can be shared interactively between people• Math 2.0 is the ability of users to create their own math-rich

social objects, using web technologies.• My contribution to the list (sent by proxy – thanks, Cal) was

that Math 2.0 is a contracted form of math and Web 2.0• For complete chat log click here.

The term is usually associated with Web based software which facilitate:
