Abstract

In this work we describe an architeture that supports the composition of web based lesson plans for math learning based on a database of fine grained mathematical components that can be tailored for communities of users. For this research, the principal target community of users is middle school mathematics teachers. Our goal is to build a web accessible resource of pedagogical material for grades K-12 math that can be used and reused in a variety of contexts from teacher remediation to lesson preparation through to student use of the lesson. The web based lessons are generated on the fly from a database of fine grained components that include explanations, interactive activities, worksheets, images, videos, audio, FAQ's, online questions and challenges.
