Project Scope
- The content reflects the 3 year Junior Certificate Maths syllabus. It presents approaches to and procedures for answering examination questions for Junior Certificate Ordinary Level Maths on all topics.
Level of interaction
- The students will interact with this resource at a number of levels.
- At a physical/tactile level, the student will control the pace of the lesson and the degree of repetition required.
- The student engages both visual and auditory modalities while learning.
- Having engaged the tactile, visual and auditory senses, the student is now strongly disposed to accommodate and assimilate new information and understanding.
- The student engages cognitively thus learning how to approach questions/problems and break solution procedures down into logical steps.
- The student can then retrace the steps taken and thus see solving the problem as a logical procedure progressing from problem to solution.
