Introduce yourself. ü Look at the Standards Of Mathema@cal Prac@ce and share your response to one of these two ques@ons: 1. Which are you most excited about implemen@ng and why? 2. Which one do you think will be the most difficult for you to implement? Why? 3 1

2 Background Information Project: Sierra STEM Community Collaborative Partners: Sierra CC and PCOE Developed through: California Community Colleges Chancellor s Office, National Science Foundation & James Irvine Foundation 4 Background Information Ø Stipends Ø Expectations: Follow norms, stay engaged, ask questions, complete in-between workshop practice opportunities and final performance task Ø One-on-One Coaching Support 5 Project Goal Prepare students for STEM educa@on and careers through applied academics 6 2

3 Our Norms 7 Workshop Goals and Desired Outcomes Provide you with integrated hands-on learning experiences based on field tested curriculum... so that you will: Use your constructed learning and teach the curriculum to your students, using best practices and appropriate technology... so that... 8 Workshop Goals and Desired Outcomes Student are prepared for STEM educa@on and careers 9 3

4 Resources A complete field- tested curriculum unit available on line A web- based support system at: h.p://sierraschoolworks.com/sec@on/curriculum/hands- on- algebra/ Lessons planned and delivered to support meaning- making and build exper@se Follow up one- on- one coaching support 10 Workshop Format Interactive hands-on learning experiences Modeling of effective classroom researchbased teaching strategies Reflection and practice of key knowledge, skills and understandings between workshops Follow up individual support and coaching 11 Plexer 12 4

5 Unit Overview Introduction to Quadratics Graphing Transformations of Graphs Building and launching the catapult, hitting the target Extension: Altering the distance (Trig) * Completing the Square using Algebra Tiles 13 Catapult Launch 14 Angry Birds h.p:// v=bsylplxl7vq 15 5

6 Graphing Quadratics Silent Debate The partner with the most teaching experience will take the pro stance, while the other partner will take the con stance. Pro: Students should use graphing calculators for this exercise Con: Students should make t- charts and show step by step work for this exercise. All statements must be wri.en. No talking. 16 Graphing Calculators Quick Demo Desmos Graphing Calculators h.ps:// TI 84 Use either the Ti- 84 or your own device to graph a few func@ons on your worksheet. Your goal is to get comfortable with the calculator. If you finish early, explore Desmos. 17 Transfoma<ons Graph Dance h.p:// v=umx63kfdriu Green Globs h.p:// Move to Computer lab Bring all your belongings 18 6

7 In Between Workshop Practice Big Idea: Options For September 6 th Choose From Four Options: 1. Teach students Graphing Dance video their performance & reflect in your journal 2. Teach students or another adult how to use a graphing calculator take notes in your Reflection Journal on the process and the results (What did YOU learn?) 19 In Between Workshop Prac<ce Big Idea: Options For September 6 th Choose From Four Options: 3. Use computer or calculator to teach students or another adult how to evaluate transformations take notes on the process and the results (What did YOU learn?) OR 4. Other Connected to first workshop and demonstrate application/adaptation of learning

8 Culmina<ng Performance Task Half of ready by third workshop: September 20 th ; other half prepared for final workshop October 4 th. Approximately 5-6 minutes in length; 10 minutes if working with a partner Design a lesson that is in the CC content standards for your grade level and that incorporates Experien@al Learning & at least 1 of the Standards of Mathema@cal Prac@ce. E.g. Linear Func@ons, Trigonometry, Exponen@als, Geometry, Equa@ons, Sta@s@cs & Probability, Quadra@cs 22 Step Outside Your Comfort Zone 23 Wrap-up Prompt for Reflection Journal 1.This is what I learned today that was most meaningful to me and here is why: OR 2. is similar to. is different from. In what ways? 24 8
