Modular Mathematics – High School

Developing an understanding of patterns, relations, and functions is foundational for students to have success with secondary mathematics. Beginning and young mathematicians should have had many prior experiences being a “pattern sniffer” (Cuoco, et al, 1996). If not, those missed opportunities must be provided for students to allow them to build the foundation needed to move into the rigorous study of functions.

Modular Mathematics is an alternative for students and teachers who would like something different or something additional to support the building of function fluency in secondary mathematicians. This is not your usual collection of notes, thoughts, writing assignments or activities.

Getting Started with Modular Math: Functions

Level 1: Introduction

Level 2: Graphs

Level 3: Verbal Descriptions; Linear Functions

Level 4: One-to-One Functions; Onto Functions

Level 5: Composition of Functions

Level 6: Quadratics

The Top 5 Reasons for Using Manipulatives in the Classroom

Have you ever asked or said or heard a fellow educator ask or say… “Exactly what constitutes a manipulative?” “I have some of these manipulatives in my closet, but do not have a clue how to use them!” “How do I find the time to use manipluatives in the classroom when I have so much […]

Happy National National Chocolate Day: October 28thChocolate Day!

National Chocolate Day: October 28th My grandmother always said, “God was in a good mood the day He created chocolate!” I grew up thinking that chocolate was a basic food group! And, I admit, chocolate is one of my weaknesses. What does National Chocolate Day have to do with mathematics!   Well – where’s the math? […]

Functional Fluency

I just returned from NCTM Boston. What a great week! I got to catch up with a lot of old friends and made several new ones as well. My co-author, Leslie Texas, and I did a session on one of our strategies from our book series What’s My Move: A Kinesthetic Multisensory Approach to Graphing […]

Algebra I Employment Standards – 2022-2023

The various paths are described at https://www.tn.gov/education/licensing/educator-licensure/licensed-educators.html.  The purpose of the trainings offered here is to provide the pedagogical and content […]

Putting the “A” in STEAM

Are you looking for a summer workshop for your K-12 students? In July, I will be hosting an art/writing workshop for students K-12. We will be focusing on Putting the “A” in STEAM.  This 6-day enrichment workshop will focus around the arts and humanities. Students will create and begin to use a combined art journal […]

NCTM, San Francisco

My colleagues and I really enjoyed your presentation at NCTM.  We have already convinced our principal to pre-order us copies of your new book, but we would also like 4 class sets of the pyramids. 

Many presentations talked about problem solving and the benefits of giving students higher level thinking problems, but yours was the only one that really told us how to teach it and scaffold it for students, rather than just modeling what problem-solving looks likes.  Thanks.
