Chris Hughes , Marion Florence
At Oilfields Junior/Senior High School in Black Diamond, Alberta, Chris Hughes and Marion Florence created several multimedia software programs that help students learn mathematics at their own pace. One of their programs, OHS STATISTICS, presents Grade 9 and 10 students with real-world problems. For example, after analyzing United Nations data, students are asked to decide which countries should receive financial assistance. The software guides the students through the basics, giving teachers time to answer difficult questions.
