Introducing The Portable Lab

Allow us to show off technology that may be very useful as we explore a Problem of the Week.

Using Graphing Calculators

We will utilize the graphing calculator (and each other as resources) to explore the problems below.

• Converting Celsius Temperatures to Fahrenheit
  
  
• The Classic Coke Can Problem
  
  

Thinking About Pedagogy

• Exploring Rich Problems
  
  
  • A Checkerboard Problem
    
    
• Gleaning the Sample HSPA for Teaching Opportunities
  
  

What more should we be doing?

• Site visits and in-class support by Anita or Shelly?
  
  
• Can you suggest possible topice for future in-service opportunities?
  
  
• We believe that the Lucent PoWs are being used primarily for extra credit. What would help you use them more routinely as resources in your teaching and learning?
  
  
• other ideas?
