  1. TMP Summer Institute August 8, 2008 Project TIMETransitions in Math Education Christie Gilliland- Dean, GRCC Joyce Hammer- Co-Director, GRCC Kris Kissel- Instructor, GRCC PaulMuckerheide- Instructor, Hazen HS Laura Moore-Mueller-Director, GRCC Pam Reising- Instructor, GRCC Stacey Snyder- Instructor, Renton HS Robin Washam- Co-Director, PSESD

  2. A Partnership Auburn School District Enumclaw School District Federal Way School District Kent School District Puyallup School District Renton School District Sumner School District Tahoma School District Green River Community College Seattle University University of Washington

  3. A portal to the senior math course Development and content Instructor reactions Lessons learned Advisory-Night-in-a-Box OVERVIEW FOR TODAY

  4. Game Theory

  5. Battle of New Guinea (Printed from COMAP)

  6. Vocabulary Minimax Maximin Saddle point Nash Equilibrium Game matrix Payoff and much more! Literacy Strategies Cornell Notes Concept Map Frayer Model (four square) Literacy

  7. C O R N E L L N O T E S

  8. Literacy: Concept Map

  9. Literacy: Frayer Model

  10. AB Game: Mixed Strategy

  11. Calculate the percentage each played A. Calculate the expected value of the game. AB Game: Mixed Strategy

  12. Finding the optimal strategy Mathematics used:ProbabilityLinear graphsIntersection point (systems) Use of technology Mathematical Analysis

  13. Group work Mathematical conversations Classroom discussion Student Work

  14. NUMB3RS: Dirty Bomb‘’Prisoner’s Dilemma’ Non-Zero Sum Games(Conflict Resolution)

  15. FootlooseA game of chicken Non-Zero Sum Games(Conflict Resolution)

  16. A Beautiful Mind NUMB3RS episode: The Art of Reckoning To C or Not to C Forgiveness Math Non-Zero Sum Games(Conflict Resolution)

  17. Implementation • Videos • Group work • Active learning • Literacy strategies • Textbook / course materials • CRMS content • Direct instruction • Technology: Calculators and Spreadsheets • Current events

  18. Created by faculty from GRCC and partner school districts. Provides rigorous alternative to calculus track for high-school seniors. Senior Course Development

  19. Investigate deep and interesting topics in mathematics while preserving and improving algebra competency. Rekindle the excitement and beauty of mathematics. Senior Course Development

  20. Pre-Development Issues • 1 semester or 2 semester course • Module based or stand alone course • H.S minimum math requirements • Competing AP math courses

  21. Pre-Development Issues • Available high school math teachers • Time to meet • What’s in a name? Discrete Math BAT Math Advanced Quantitative Reasoning College-Prep Math • Applications in Mathematical Reasoning

  22. Graph Theory Scheduling Linear Programming Voting Statistics and Probability Fair Division Course Content Semester I

  23. Finance Geometry Modeling continuous functions: linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, and logistic Game Theory Course ContentSemester II

  24. Assess students at beginning and end of year with WAMAP. http://www.wamap.org/ Administer student and teacher perception surveys Observe students’ progress post-senior year Course Assessment

  25. Professional development: “just-in-time” Content and pedagogy Course materials and supplies Textbooks Calculators and sensor/motion probes Substitute cost assistance Consequences Engage in hands-on learning Establish a learning community Instructor Support

  26. Excitement for new material Administrative/counselor support The magnitude of the project was a surprise Always expect material will require more time than intended for writing and editing Democratic approach takes time but leads to a richer course Needed one decision maker eventually Lessons Learned in Creating a New Course

  27. Collaboration across and within sectors Interest and awareness by administrators and instructors in other disciplines Mathematical engagement of students Teacher Reflections

  28. Always expect that teaching the material requires more time than intended Class preparation is critical Additional information for the instructor resource manual Teacher prep time and money Administrative support Need resource/content individual for help Pilot test materials need enough polish to engage and support instructors, but will need significant revision Assessment requires piloting: content and delivery Lessons Learned Implementing this Course

  29. Communication across sectors: Summer Symposiums COMING SOON! Summer Symposium - August 25, 2008 Revised Math Standards Facilitated by Dr. Susan Hudson-Hull, UT Dana Center
