In a 10 min presentation, individually, // engage the class // in some learning that is useful for us in preparing to teach intermediate or high school mathematics. You may present: · A curious problem · An interesting application (with URL or handout) · An issue in mathematics education (journal, newspaper, magazine article) · A technology connection or a website · Some other useful piece of information
 * Mathematical Tidbits **
 * __ Two __** people sign up for each day shown as a white cell. And **__four__** sign up for April 28th. Even though you sign up in twos, each presentation will be individual.

Schedule will be posted once people have signed up.
April 7: April 11: April 14: April 18: April 21: April 28:


 * Everything You Need to Know About … **

In an effort to study the content in the Grades 11 and 12 courses, you will be presenting to and with one another. All of you will need access to The Ontario Curriculum Grades 11 and 12, 2007 before, during, and after these classes. Bring your copy of the curriculum or your computer with the documents loaded. Sign up in groups of 2 or 3. See numbers in each block.
 * April 14 || Properties of Functions: //Quadratic, Polynomial, Rational// (domain, range, inverses, zeros, transformations, max, min)

** 3 people ** || Geometry and Trigonometry (static), Applications of Vectors (not the Calculus part)

** 3 people ** ||
 * April 18 || Properties of Functions: //Exponential, Logarithmic, Trigonometric// (domain, range, inverses, zeros, transformations, max, min)

** 3 people ** || Math Models and Personal Finance

** 2 people ** ||
 * April 21 || Rate of Change, Limits and Derivatives, Geometry and Algebra of Vectors

** 2 people ** || Data, Statistics and Probability

** 2 people ** || 1. Each presentation is to be 60 min – 75 min in length.
 * Expectations: **

2. Think of your presentation, as a “getting ready to teach” introduction that will help your peers be ready for the course content.

3. Paint a fullsome picture of the study of the mathematics you are focusing on and try to outline which parts are in which courses. What do students in College courses study versus those in University courses? What’s in Grade 11 compared to grade 12? You could have the students do this part.

4. Start with first principles and give an overview of the content. Engage students in DOING THE MATH. This can take many forms: o teach one of the lessons o pose open questions related to your content o have peers work on changing text book questions to open questions o create parallel tasks and analyse the math that comes from them – justify the choices you made in creating the parallel tasks o set up stations and have them rotate and do math from more than one lesson o prepare a relay that would be appropriate in preparation for a summative assessment o be creative BUT make sure your peers are learning the math

5. Prepare three (3) lesson plans if there are 3 of you or two (2) lesson plans if there are 2 of you on a 3-part lesson template. (MATCH or Posing Powerful Questions) for lessons in your topic. These can be sequential or NOT, special application lessons, technology lessons, or whatever you choose. These should be models of lessons you and your friends could use in the classroom.

6. Your prompts (in each before, during and after sections) should be QUESTIONS. Remember you can use Open Questions or Parallel Tasks.

7. You need to engage everybody in DOING SOME MATH.

8. Make sure your presentation is interactive. Have peers listening, working, talking, doing placemats, graffiti, gallery walks, solving problems, searching for information. They should be BUSY learning.
