Abstract: MeTRC is presently engaged in a study with Texas and Oregon middle school math students in learning support classrooms. MeTRC is studying the relationship between writing, communication, metacognition, and math learning. Students are presently working with an interactive online math learning platform (DDI’s Math Learning Companion) that is introducing two networked learning tools: a “notebook” for note taking, reflection, and two-way communication with the instructor; as well as a peer-to-peer communication and collaboration tool, called “The Wall.”
