Learn some effective ways to teach asynchronously online and how to move face to face tasks to a virtual environment. We will first look at the ways we use technology for teaching and then we will experience how to transform a few mathematical tasks into engaging online experiences.
Build functions using conversation hearts (great for February or any time of year) and help students represent and analyze linear and exponential growth and decay. The value of pooling data and the law of large numbers will also be explored.
More than just right triangles, this session will focus on many contributions from the Pythagoreans. This ancient group used visual representations to study and prove mathematics and many of their methods can be used in the classroom today to help students build understanding and connections.
Implementing BTC is challenging- especially when traditional mathematics instruction is the norm. Through adapting a traditional textbook lesson, we will explore efficient strategies for creating engaging curricular thinking tasks
