Description of Keynote Address
Title: Exploring Authentic Examples of Mathematical Connections
Connecting students to mathematics in the world around them is one approach in engaging them in thinking as mathematicians. When students are encouraged to create these mathematical connections themselves, reflect on the connections, and share their thinking with peers, then they are constructing their own mathematical understanding. John will discuss how to identify mathematical problems that provide rich experiences for students in order to help them recognize how mathematics relates to other disciplines and situations outside of the classroom. The examples will demonstrate that students can construct their understanding of mathematics through modeling and solving a problem, communicating the solution, and reflecting on the solution.

2. Inquiry-Based Science and Mathematics Using Dynamic Modeling CD – 1100 Shinemin Lin, Savannah State University, [email protected] I had attended a couple of Computing Thinking Workshops sponsored by Shordor.org. Through the workshops I learned how to use dynamic modeling to let beginning college students understand the goal to learn mathematics is to learn Pattern Recognition and use limited mathematics skills to understand advanced mathematics modeling. Also through Pattern Recognition we can connect mathematics and real life problems. At my college algebra classes, all students need to use Excel to do some research projects that connect mathematics and real world problems. At this presentation I will focus on inquiry-based learning enhanced by dynamic computer modeling with content and practice to assist audiences to incorporate modeling and simulation at all levels students from freshman to senior. I will present few algebra-based computer modeling using Excel and Vensim. Those models can easily illustrate some popular examples at many textbooks of Differential Equation.
3. The Elimination of Algebra CD – 2140 Phillip Taylor, North Florida Community College, [email protected] Through a combination of legislative, system and institutional choices, students at many Florida colleges and universities can avoid taking an algebra or algebraic modeling course at any level.
