Dear Math & Science Coordinator,
The COUNTDOWN creators continue
their cutting edge approach to instruction
with the integration of TECHNOLOGY on their
weekly television programs this season!
Students, parents and teachers
alike will benefit from live demonstrations of
computer activities related to important math
concepts.
On October 5th, COUNTDOWN,
an interactive math program aired live every Thursday
on Channel 21 at 7:30pm, launched another season
of shows that turn learning opportunities
into reality for all its viewers.
This
year, COUNTDOWN's curriculum will focus on the
new NCTM standards
and show how they relate to the Illinois
State Learning Goals and the Chicago
Academic Standards.
COUNTDOWN, developed and produced through Loyola
University's School of Education and now being
offered by the Loyola/Truman
Network of GEAR UP to ALL GEAR UP SCHOOLS,
introduces a different math concept every
week through direct instruction and reinforces
each lesson with manipulative., activities
and related computer instruction.
Student viewers are encouraged
to call the televised phone number to participate
in the show by resondlng to challenges presented
by the on-air educators, three of whom are from
Loryola and another who is a CPS teacher. COUNTDOWN
offers 60 bonus minutes of math instruction
each week and supports every show with companion
worksheets which are reproduced and distributed
to active programs. This web site also has the
reproduction
and distribution of these forms available.
COUNTDOWN is a proven math
motivator. It's a learning opportunity that shouldn't
be missed!!
