CAME project: what do you think?
By Mark Andrews (T3122) on Monday, August 28, 2000 - 11:41 pm:

I am doing some research on the CAME project run by Kings College, London for my mathematics department. I now know all about the project, but would like to hear from schools that already run CAME to find out what their successes are with it.

Many thanks,
Mark Andrews

Hi!!
We use CAME at our school and actually I find it really hard to get my head around it sometimes. Even when I have "squatted up" on the material and thought about what is going on - I sometimes think that what I really wanted the students to get out of the lesson could have been achieved much more satisfactorily. My students are good at discussing on the whole - but sometimes they even need much prompting to get going. The sheets accompanying the lessons are good. I feel that there should be more "guidance" from the writers of the scheme - in terms of inset for a day maybe so that one can discuss the best way of utilising CAME and best ways to orgainise it into your curriculum etc. I have just been given the folder and basically told to get on with it when I feel like it - um interesting.
Any feedback that you get that would assist me would be very gratefully received.
