  1. Challengesto emergency preparedness for mathematics: Understanding our tasks 18 January 2012 Patsy Wang-Iverson pwangiverson@gmail.com

  2. This project can help us prepare our children for the future. • It illustrates the importance/value of mathematical thinking.

  3. Day 1: 14 February 2012 Katsumi SHIRAHATA: • Self-help and public help • When disaster occurs, children must make independent decision Moving from saving children in disaster to children saving themselves and others in disaster.

  4. What kinds of lessons? • Business as usual? 1. Skills development 2. Doing as teacher directs or • Problem posing by students? Example: 16 Feb. Isoda lesson BUT… No proposed lessons have followed this example.

  5. Problem Posing by Students ISMUNANDAR: Teacher Professional Development for Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction in Education in ASEAN BUT—Teachers can’t learn/know everything in the 21st century. BENJALUG NAMFA: 1) Integrated curriculum; 2) Changing teaching practice MAITREE INPRASITHA: Lesson study and open approach

  6. Problem Posing by Students • SHIZUMI SHIMIZU: Eventually, it is necessary that opportunities are given so that students can act independently and autonomously. • AND… • Pose and solve their own problems.

  7. 14 Feb. Panel Discussion “Education about disaster prevention is not something you can do overnight; it is a long-term effort.” BUT… We need to develop disaster reading materials and lesson plans, engage in lesson study, and report back by 7 September!

  8. Possible Learning Content A Knowledge of why and how Earthquake and Tsunmai happen B Models related to Earthquake and Tsunmai (mathematics and physical model) C Prevention and damage control (Good Building and Logistic arrangement) D After the disaster (Relief Work and its arrangement)

  9. Problem Posing using Prior Knowledge

  10. BEFORE IMMEDIATE MID-TERM LONG-TERM PRIOR KNOWLEDGE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT RECONCEPTUALIZATION RETURN TO NORMALCY DAMAGE REDUCTION Relocation Rescue Prediction Removal Protection Reallocation Prevention? Relief Restoration Rehabilitation Preparedness P Reconstruction R Q S SKILLS SCIENCE SYSTEMS THINKING

  11. Scientist Presentations Makoto Matsubara: Strong velocity gradient related to the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake using travel time data from active seismicity detected by the dense seismic network. Gaku Shoji: Damage of infrastructures due to the 2011 Earthquake off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Masanori Shishikura: Importance of studying past tsunami by geological field survey

  12. Scientist Presentations • Bring real science to education • Help students and teachers understand what scientists do • Serve as models for students’ future aspirations

  13. Full STEAM* Ahead! Science Technology Engineering Art Mathematics

  14. APEC Lesson Study Developing students who are agents of change, not objects of change.

  15. E-Textbook • Mild improvement of boring textbook? • Inclusion of animation, movie?

  16. ORIGAMI • Using origami to build portable temporary shelters • 6th International Meeting on Origami in Science, Mathematics and Education (6OSME) March, 2014 Kobe, Japan
