Abstract
We describe math modeling and computer simulations as a new pedagogical approach to math and science education. Computational approach to Math, Science, and Technology (CMST) involves inquiry-based, project-based, and team-based instruction. It takes the constructivist approach recommended by national learning standards. Our college has formed a partnership with local school districts to study impact of CMST on student achievement in math and science. We have trained more than 60 middle and high school teachers and teacher candidates. Preliminary results indicate that CMST-based professional development contributed an increase in passing rate (from 39% to 85%) of Rochester City School District in New York State high school math exam. This paper establishes relevant literature supporting CMST as an important scientific and educational methodology.
