Project IMMERSION

an NSF-funded collaboration between academic institutions and local school districts in CA, VA, and MT to bring mathematical modeling into K-8 school

In everything from sports to math, progress = effort * time #ReasonsToModel #IMMERSION2016

How much do you read in a school year? Do all those texts, tweets, and tomes add up to 1,000,000 words? #ModelWithMath

“[There is] a growing need for teachers to be the facilitator rather than ‘the sage on stage’.” #ReasonsToModel #IMMERSION2016

Great start to #IMMERSION2016 here at HMC!

Discussing mathematical modeling and modeling mathematics! @mathcirque reporting from #IMMERSION15 #GMU #WEEK3

Why + How = Whow! This is @mathcirque reporting from #IMMERSION15 #GMU #WEEK3

"[Math] ended up being the hardest to teach because I didn't understand why they didn't understand." #ReasonsToModel #IMMERSION15

[Project IMMERSION @ModelWithMath]

"It made me realize that students need to deepen their ability to understand other students' thinking." #ReasonsToModel #IMMERSION15

"We want them to see the math in everything they do." #MathematizeLife #IMMERSION15

[Project IMMERSION @ModelWithMath]

Where is the math? #MathematizeLife!

[Project IMMERSION @ModelWithMath]

You have the opportunity to provide something restorative to your students- Silence! #IMMERSION15

What math targets can we hit with each problem we pose? #ModelWithMath

[Project IMMERSION @ModelWithMath]

"How much housing would we need for the athletes and tourists?" #LetsModelOlympics #IMMERSION15

[Project IMMERSION @ModelWithMath]

"How would traffic be affected by hosting the Olympics in your city?" #LetsModelOlympics #IMMERSION15

Second CA day of @ModelWithMath: problem posing, building solutions, variables/constraints... Love working with ##IMMERSION15 teachers!

[Project IMMERSION @ModelWithMath]

Sometimes you just need to take a break #ModelWithMath

[Project IMMERSION @ModelWithMath]

"Is this how you teach math, or how you deepen math?" #ModelWithMath #IMMERSION15

[Project IMMERSION @ModelWithMath]

"It's easier to teach than reteach." #ReasonsToModel #IMMERSION15

[Project IMMERSION @ModelWithMath]

"[Modeling] gets kids to think wider." #ReasonsToModel #IMMERSION15

Let's help elicit a positive classroom environment- collaboration and an acceptance of mistakes! #ModelWithMath
