Common Core: Integrating Web 2.0 Technology to Teach Math Standards

The Common Core State Standards for math stress real-life relevance, which creates opportunities for educators to take examples from life to motivate problem solving, critical thinking, effective communication, and collaboration.

This is easier to do when students use online tools to explore and discuss mathematical concepts and demonstrate math modeling.
