Angelica Cortes's students are doing a project based on a math teaching-related topic of the student’s choice from what they are studying this semester. They need to choose from ONE of the following:
- A written detailed lesson plan for face-to-face teaching in which you describe how to use a particular set of physical manipulatives during the lesson so that at least two types of learning styles are engaged, one must be kinesthetic learning style (you must cite a source from an article such as Teaching Children Mathematics or Mathematics Teacher). Length: 3-5 pages
- A video in which you show your colleagues how to use virtual manipulatives or a virtual math game from Calculation Nation that encourages learning in the lesson or game so that at least two types of learning styles are engaged, one must be kinesthetic learning style (you must cite an article from Teaching Children Mathematics or Mathematics Teacher). Length: 5-8 minutes
- A paper or presentation (through Google Slides or PowerPoint with you talking through the presentation) on a topic or mathematician from the list on page 3.
Length: paper 3-5 pages or presentation 5-8 minutes
But the thing to note is that the assignment directs students to cite an article form Teaching Children Mathematics and/or Mathematics Teacher. However as of Jan 2020, Teaching Children Mathematics, Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, and Mathematics Teacher were all consolidated into one new journal, Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12 (MTLT). We don’t have it (and didn’t have the older ones for the past few years either) & are trying to get electronic access of the new journal for next semester. The instructor knows this and has okayed the alternatives noted in the Research Guide. .
