Abstract

In the flipped class system instruction is transferred to the individual’s space rather than taking place in the traditional group facing a teacher. The basic instilment of knowledge occurs outside of the classroom, usually via videos. The materials are available to the students wherever and whenever they wish to study: at home, in the library on the bus, from a hospital bed and in the classroom at the beginning of a lesson, which enables the students to come better prepared to the lesson (Musallam, 2010). In this paper, we propose a model for the assimilation of information technologies for the development of mathematical thinking in the flipped class system. The model was created following a number of further education courses for math teachers and after viewing classes conducted in the flipped class system. The model defines the components necessary for the assimilation of information technologies for the development of mathematical thinking in the flipped class system in Israeli high schools.
