Projects
Welcome to my projects page! Here you’ll find a selection of math projects I designed during my residency year for my 10th grade class, and some project ideas I hope to use in the future. Click on each entry to learn more.
2022 - 2023
How can we mathematically connect public health factors to health outcomes?
How are ratios, proportions, similarity, and trigonometry used in design and displays of flags?
How does geometry help us understand housing development, construction, and affordability?
Future Project Ideas
What are the properties of numbers and operations, and what would it look like if we changed the rules?
Equity
Projects are designed to provide access and challenge for all students to engage in meaningful work through a wide variety of perspectives, skills, knowledge, content, and products. Focus on authenticity, engagement, and diverse thinking ensure that every student learns deeply.
Authentic Work
Students learn content knowledge and skills in the context of an authentic project or problem and create a public-facing product. Project work is important and authentic, closely linked to students' passions and to real-world needs and experiences.
Personalization
Projects are designed to tap into students' and teachers' personal questions, values, and passions. Students and educators see themselves and their communities in their work. Projects elevate student "voice and choice" as students engage in deep inquiry and reflection.
Collaborative Design
Projects are designed to include student, parent, and community voices in the co-design of educational experiences. Students are involved deeply in the project at all levels, including planning and assessment. Interdisciplinary projects build meaningful learning across the curriculum.
