NCTM Session: Mathematics and Integrative STEM—The Ultimate Photo Finish for Connecting Math and Science

By David Barnes (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics: Reston, VA), Katelyn Barnes (Riverside High School: Leesburg, VA)

Engineering Mathematics Middle School

Build student understanding and ability to look for patterns, analyze data, and use their own mathematical rules in the context of a photo finish they orchestrate.

Takeaways

  1. Build positive mathematical identity by using math to describe their situation.
     
  2. Create a richer understanding of the mathematics they do when they create rules (functions) to describe the movement of their object.
     
  3. Collaborate and problem solve with others to create an collective experience connecting mathematics and science.
