When you will present to the class (within reason).
How many times you present to the class.
The list below is "bouncing around ideas". You choose your topic. We will not have two groups doing the same thing. This way when you watch and participate in other groups presentations you can learn something new.
Rough guide is 2 minutes per person in the group. For example: One group wants to teach people how to create Desmos animations, so they might take longer.
Group size is up to you. You can present as many times as you like with different groups, within reason.
There are no rules, I will help you create an interesting presentation.
There is no grade, this is for learning and fun.
We will discuss what makes a good presentation.

Team work
After each presentations we will do: "plus, minus, interesting" in a casual way in order to ensure we can learn from our experience.
A group of students thought about the benefits of "Do Now" activities.
They decided to take charge of "Do Now" on Thursdays, and to get feedback from students in order to improve the quality of the "Do Now".
At the end of their inquiry they plan to present the results to the class.
Teaching a concept
When we teach something we have to articulate our thinking so we learn the concept in a deeper way. This is not an easy option. There are many things to concider:
How are you going to involve the class?
How are you going to make it interesting & fun?
Is there some history, real life use or software that will connect the concept being taught to the wider world?
If you are going to present more than once, choose a different style the second time. Do not repeat the same theme. Do something quite different.
Learning through feedback & feedforward
Together we will aim to improve the quality of the presentations by being open to learning from each other.
Imagine a world without Mathematics
It is easy to see the purpose and power of mathematics when we try to imagine a world without it.
