The table below maps out the interwoven strands of our course design. Each week, we have a theme, one tech workshop that teaches a particular technology that students need to know how to use to complete their coursework and assignments. Each week we also focus on one or more New Media Literacy skills. And of, course, there is the mathematics content, which is actually a bulk of what we do in our classes. All other strands in the design are built to support the learning of mathematics. Most weeks, the teacher delivers a short presentation or lecture relating to relevant topics in the real world, relating to data, or to the relevant history of mathematics. These presentations also serve as models for the students, who are required, themselves to develop presentations and deliver them to their classmates, once per unit.
