Jonathan Choate

Jonathan has taught mathematics at Groton School since 1966 and has been involved in curriculum development in general and the use of computers in the teaching of mathematics in particular since the mid 80's. He has served on two NCTM Task Forces, one on algebra and the other on discrete mathematics. He has been a co-principal investigator along with Prof. Robert Devaney on two National Science Foundation projects: one focusing on Fractals and Chaos and the other on Using Technology in the Teaching of Mathematics.  Most recently he served as a Senior Writer on another NSF funded project at Pennsylvania State University that focused on creating materials using the latest computer-based mathematical tools such as geometry construction packages and computer algebra systems. He has been a featured speaker at state, regional, national and international conferences. His column, Geometer's Corner, is a regular feature in COMAP's Consortium newsletter. Currently, he is working on developing class room materials which make use of both three-dimensional construction packages such as Google’s SketchUp and Cabri 3D and  a computer-algebra-system, Wolfram’s Mathematica. This year will be his 25th year presenting at the Anja S. Greer Conference.
