A Research on Web-based Mathematics Teaching Materials

  Web-based Mathematics Software for Junior High School

Established in August,1996

         and the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science
         ( Encouragement Research B, subject numbers 10913006,1998 and 11913005,1999)

Perspective on teaching materials can be changed by the Internet !

     (1)      The following is software for mathematics learning written in Java.
                 If software is comparatively easy, they can be developed even by teachers who have pressing work.
                We can share teaching materials by Web as all schools are connected to the Internet in Japan.
                 Therefore, teachers do not have to purchase software in each of school and can reduce total times
                 of developing software.

              Java Applet for mathematics learning@・・・・Calculation of Pi using Monte Carlo Method
                                                      (For Mathematics Classes)
                 Java Applet for mathematics learningA・・・・The Formula on Volume of Cone and Monte Carlo Method
                 Java Applet for mathematics learningB・・・・Cutting a Cube
                 Java Applet for mathematics learningC・・・・Sierpinski's Gasket(Fractal Graphics)

     (2)      The following is software for mathematics learning written in VRML and Java.
                 Please have a look by ver.3.0 or more Internet Explorer and Netscape.

                 Software in VRML・・・・・Learning about Solid(TERMINATED)
 

     (3)    Web-based Collaborative Learning in School Mathematics

                  〔 A part of this research is selected as a supporting plan in the Voluntary-Plan of the
                    100-School Networking Project (PhaseU,1998)  and the School-Plan of the E square
                    project (1999) of the Center for Educational Computing.                                           〕
