4. STEM Without mathematics, science wouldn’t rule!

6. I Will Knot! • Create an environment of STEM • Open to 2nd page of journal • Create a data table • Knots & Length • Journal allows for you to connect back to your experiences today … and plan for tomorrow

7. I Will Knot! • Start by measuring the length of the rope … in centimeters • Tie one knot in the rope • Measure the rope again & record • Tie one knot in the rope • Measure the rope again & record • Predict how long the rope will be with 3 knots

8. I Will Knot! • Tie the third knot in the rope, measure, & record • Compare measurement to prediction • Review data & look for a pattern • Create a prediction model for knots and length • Beginnings of algebra and formulas • At bottom of your journal page – apply this in your classroom

9. Environment for STEM • Create an environment where all aspects are respected: STEM • Discovery style activities/labs allow students to experience first • You help guide them • Discovery and/or Investigation activities • This Honors Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics … real life situations

10. Break Time 10 minute break

11. Environment for STEM • Creating environments of STEM • Meaningful activities • Learning is experienced • Reflections must happen • Connections are made • We want you to experience the activities • Look for your classroom within • I Will Knot showed a class experience

12. Example Stations of STEM • Discovery style stations • 30 minutes at station • Experience the activity • Keep data in journal • Reflect on how to incorporate into your classroom

13. Good lunch :) • Welcome back from Lunch • Continue great guided practice • Continue reflecting in journal

14. Example Stations of STEM • Discovery style stations …2nd station • 30 minutes at station • Experience the activity • Keep data in journal • Reflect on how to incorporate into your classroom

15. Example Stations of STEM • Discovery style stations …3rd station • 30 minutes at station • Experience the activity • Keep data in journal • Reflect on how to incorporate into your classroom

16. Example Stations of STEM • Discovery style stations …4th station • 30 minutes at station • Experience the activity • Keep data in journal • Reflect on how to incorporate into your classroom

17. Break Time 10 minute break

18. Example Stations of STEM • Discovery style stations …5th station • 30 minutes at station • Experience the activity • Keep data in journal • Reflect on how to incorporate into your classroom

19. Mathematical Practices • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them • Reason abstractly and quantitatively • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others • Model with mathematics

20. Mathematical Practices • Use appropriate tools strategically • Attend to precision • Look for and make use of structure • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

21. Don’t be afraid Think outside the JAR …to get students to reach great heights

22. Brain Dump • STEM style activities to discover mathematics.
