Hands-On Math Graph Cubes Sur iTunes

Using Graph Cubes students become involved in constructing, reading, and interpreting data in charts, graphs, tables, etc.  When using Graph Cubes simple gestures are used to drag and drop blocks, placing them in columns to build bar graphs.  On the Playground students manipulate a supply of virtual cubes to create graphs representing data collected through surveys.  A benefit derived from using the Graph Cubes is that the cubes can be easily manipulated and therefore good problem solving strategies spontaneously evolve.  Hands-On Math Graph Cubes simulates the use of a set of cubes to build bar graphs.  • Solve problems using data from tables and graphs.  While using the cubes students are given feedback so that they can see logical relationships.  • Analyze, interpret, or draw conclusions based on data given in a bar graph.  The author and designer coined the term, “artificially intelligent math manipulative” to describe how using the Hands-On Math apps differs from the concrete manipulative devices traditionally used in classrooms.  The concepts studied in this curriculum are the foundations of mathematical development especially in areas that are a part of the data analysis, probability and discrete mathematics curriculum strand.  • Add new data to a given chart, graph, or set of organized data.  For example, this appprovides intelligent mathematical feedback as the student manipulates the cubes.  • Analyze and describe data in terms of absolute or relative frequency of occurrence, range (highest/lowest), etc.  Formulating and solving problems that involve the use of data.  • Collect data to answer survey questions.  • Obtain information from a bar graph by reading a graph to accurately to answer a question.  • Generate questions that can be answered by collecting and analyzing data.  • Summarize information and relationships revealed by a graph.  The app proivdes an interactive Playground where graphs and tables can be created and explored.  Visualization is an effective way to help students understand mathematical reasoning and logic.  Student interaction with the device is augmented by the artificially intelligent feedback provided by the software.  • Extrapolate from obvious trends revealed by graphs in order to make predictions.  Immediately associating feedback with a behavior is an effective way to reinforce behavior and facilitate learning.  • Solve problems involving simple deductive reasoning.  The instructional approaches that result from creating an open-ended area for free exloration and discovery are exciting.
