Functions
This course is designed to provide 7 – 12 teachers with the key mathematical ideas surrounding functions. Based on both the National Council of the Teachers of Mathematics Standards and PDE content standards for mathematics for grades 7 - 12.
Topics include:

  • Quantities
  • Changes in quantities
  • Simultaneous changes in quantities
  • Important aspects of Change
  • Representations of Quantities in

    - Graphs
    - Tables
    - Expressions
    - Narrative
In addition to the content, we will focus on student-centered pedagogy. Teachers will have the opportunity to
  • Record initial thoughts to problems/Benefit from others’ thoughts
  • Confirm one’s own ideas/Expand on everyone’s ideas
  • Read, write, and talk about quantities in ways you can introduce to your students so they can read, write, and talk about quantities
  • See commonalities among all the chapters in your textbooks so you’re no longer teaching hundreds of separate topics
  • Discussion classroom applications for diverse learners
