META: Family Study Manifesto
add to queuerecommend activity - The Family Study community supports each participant family in creating their own beautiful, meanigful, useful and fun mathematics.
- Families can choose or create their own activities.
- Families can adapt any activity to their own levels, styles and interests. Activities are designed to be easily adaptable to different levels and styles.
- Activities are designed to support multiple representations of mathematics: text, graphs, formulas, pictures, stories, tables, manipulatives, gestures, and so on.
- Every member of every family has "executive powers" within activities: plan and decide what to do next, create ideas and examples, pose problems, ask questions and so on.
- Study history is freely available on the Web to help future participants. That includes questions and answers, activity descriptions, family stories, and recommendations.
- Family Study is an exploration of a math planet. The "planet" metaphor includes settling the frontier and adding new territories to the map, continuous development of established "villages," and multiple paths.
