Integrating Technology in Core Mathematics Education: Insights from USMA's CRAFTY Curriculum

This document outlines a series of technology labs and workshops designed to enhance mathematics education at the U.S. Military Academy. From Excel and Mathematica to AMS and Webpage design, the program emphasizes the importance of technology in reforming curricula. It aims to prepare students for a tech-driven world by shifting focus from traditional mechanics to problem setup and interpretation of solutions. The CRAFTY Curriculum served as a foundational project in 1999, advocating for improved core course technology skills.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Technology in FDW • Thursday 7 July – Technology at USMA • Friday 15 July – Tech Lab 1 (Excel) • Monday 18 July – Tech Lab 2 (Mathematica) • Homework • Wednesday 27 July – Tech Lab 3 (AMS and Webpage) • Thursday 4 Aug – Tech Lab 4 (WebAssign and Blackboard)

  2. Technology is the driving force in curriculum reform and is also a source of controversy. The ability of technology to provide visualization, numerical solutions and approximations, closed form symbolic solutions, and iterations has shifted curricula from focusing on mechanics and techniques to focusing on setting up problems and interpreting solutions. In short, technology has refocused curricula on the modeling process and away from the solution process…Another strong reason for incorporating technology in our core-course presentation is to prepare our students for the technological world in which they will graduate.
