Math-infused Science: Choosing the Most Appropriate Graph for Your Data
Math-infused Science: Choosing the Most Appropriate Graph for Your Data
(W Oct 7, 7-8:30pm Eastern Daylight Time) Students aren’t the only ones who struggle to determine the best way to display data in graphic form. Because there are usually many representations that can be used, and each may encourage the reader to make slightly different conclusions, deciding on the most appropriate graph can be tricky. […]
Student-designed Experiments: Part 2 Helping Students Write an Experimental Procedure
Student-designed Experiments: Part 2 Helping Students Write an Experimental Procedure
(Sa Oct 10, 11am-12:30 pm Eastern Daylight Time) In this workshop we will pick up where Part 1 of this series left off. We begin with a list of variables our students have identified as potentially impacting a particular phenomenon they have explored. Using a think-pair-share process, we will give students the structure needed to […]
Standards-based Grading Series: Writing Easy-to-Use Rubrics
Standards-based Grading Series: Writing Easy-to-Use Rubrics
(Sa Oct 10, 1-2:30 pm Eastern Daylight Time) In this workshop, participants will practice writing rubrics with the intent of assessing the attainment of specific content and skills standards. We will explore how rubrics can be designed for ease of use and consistent interpretation. I will challenge the participants to make rubrics that are flexible […]
