Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024   •    Creating Models in Classrooms  •  7 PM ET  •  $20

Facilitators Chris Oehrlein (Oklahoma City Community College) and Jessie Oehrlein (Fitchburg State University) will guide participants through some games and simulations they use to develop models with their math students.  Participants will discuss how to use the games as models or to generate models, and then will brainstorm learning objectives and learning cycle questions related to each game. Participants will be asked to consider how students in other subject areas might be able to generate models in their classrooms.

Participants will 

• explore games and simulations used to develop models in their classrooms

• discuss how to use the games as models or to generate models

• identify learning objectives and learning cycle questions

• brainstorm how similar models can be used in your own classroom

Participants are asked to have on hand fair coins (coins that have a 50% chance of landing heads up and a 50% chance of landing tails up) or dice; index cards cut into four smaller pieces, or some other small, similar-shaped objects that can be separated into two categories (red and white poker chips, for example); and a small bag, box, or hat.

Registration for this event is limited to 36 people.  Registrants will be sent a Zoom meeting link 2 days prior to the webinar.  Please note that the session begins at 7 PM Eastern (6 PM Central/5 PM Mountain/4 PM Pacific).  The session is scheduled for 75 minutes.
