Toward envisioning inclusive learning spaces for mathematics
and sciences
Lesson Objectives This lesson plan will help students develop spatial sense. The purpose is to allow students to use the knowledge they already know (areas of thestandard shapes I.e., triangles, squares, rectangles…etc.) to help them understand something new (the area of a hexagon). Lesson Outline Introduction Activity: Breaking up a hexagon to find the formula […]
Lesson Objectives By the end of this lesson students will start to have discussions and think about how some methods and ideas they were taught as students are not always necessarily ‘right’ or ‘better than’ other methods. The objective is to build this thinking up enough to use it throughout the next two lessons. Lesson […]
Lesson Objectives Discuss and start to critically analyze the stigmatization of using body parts in math. Potential introduction to proofs or review of proofs and looking at bases in different ways (i.e. introduction to modules) By the end of this lesson students will have an algebraic and cultural understanding of the finger multiplication method. Lesson […]
Lesson Objectives This lesson will explore why the hexagons is the most affective shape for making a honeycomb. This STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) project teaches you about the hexagon’s efficiency and its importance to bees and their honeycomb. Lesson Outline First discussion: Introduce this lesson by asking the students an engineering question to […]
