A team of undergraduates at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has been commissioned to develop an activity to teach children basic math skills. We will be using this page to organize our progress and provide status.
The project is organized into two phases: first, build a simple end-to-end tic-tac-toe activity to become familiar with developing an activity from the ground up (see below). Second, to design and implement the math activity, utilizing what we've learned from the tic-tac-toe experience.
The Team
- Frank Tobia (tobiaf2@rpi.edu)
- Ryan Leary (learyr@rpi.edu)
- Ben Classen (classb@rpi.edu)
- Allen Lavoie (lavoia@rpi.edu)
- David Pizzuto (pizzud@rpi.edu)
Math activity
