Making Math Meaningful with Mentors
Second grade students often struggle to explain and justify their mathematical thinking.
By using math journals and mini iPads, second grade students will reflect on mathematical problem solving strategies and share their reasoning on the classroom blog. Students will create math tutorial…Read More

I will be offering 7th graders a mathematical tech/robotics class. They will be exposed to a hands-on approach to learning mathematics (in specific: ratios, proportions, and geometry topics: angles, geometric shapes, spatial reasoning with modeling 2 and 3D visuals) as well as incorporating science and writing techniques. The main topics will…Read More

I want to incorporate more 3D construction into my classroom. By creating objects beyond the computer screen, students are automatically more engaged. In my innovation grant, I asked for a tool that will allow students this cool opportunity.

The CreoPop 3D pens will allow students to create three dimensional models. Using the 3 Doodler in…Read More

Trigonometric Function: What’s Your Function???
My project-based unit places the student in a role as a mathematician. As a mathematician each PreCalculus student is looking for a scheme to represent trigonometric functions in a musical way. Students will use music to help them understand the mathematics of trigonometric functions. Each s…Read More
