| Summary: | "Students, and others, often have difficulty mastering mathematical concepts and tools because, somewhere in their background, they stumbled on a math roadblock that prevented smooth forward progress. "Teaching Mathematics Using Interactive Mapping" includes activities that focus on interactive web-based GIS and are relevant to today's problems and challenges. Written in a guided, hands-on, understandable manner, they are designed to build practical and problem-solving skills that rest on mathematical principles and move students from thinking about maps as references that focus solely on "where is" something, to analytical tools, focusing primarily on the "whys of where.""-- |
