Math Technology/CRMSE Innovation Lab

The Center for Research in Mathematics & Science Education (CRMSE) operates the Mathematics Technology/CRMSE Innovation Lab at SDSU in PA 117.  The Innovation Lab is a unique facility where faculty and researchers develop ways of studying mathematics by designing and constructing physical models and devices allowing for the engagement of touch, body motion, kinesthesia, and large-scale activities in the learning of mathematics.  Further details may be obtained by contacting CRMSE Director, Dr. Ricardo Nemirovsky or the Lab Coordinator, Bohdan Rhodehamel, at [email protected]. You can also visit Math Tech/Innovation Lab page at the Tangible Math web site.

In Summer 2012, the Innovation Lab was the setting for Shadows and Body Motion: Using Technology to Teach Ratios and Proportions (see below) a professional development workshop for middle school math teachers. Click the link to see the types of activities teachers developed during this workshop.
