Math Education Research
During the summer and fall of 2020, I worked with Dr. Kysh as well as Matthew Gil and Cesar Meza to adapt some group work activities into ones that fit for remote learning over Zoom. These are the adapted versions which were used in our Math 199 Pre-calculus classes at San Francisco State University.
The Penny Lab is an exploration of exponential functions by observing exponential decay through flipping coins and removing the ones which land on tails. The Zoom adaptation included modified directions and a link to a website that virtually simulates the coin flipping for the students.
Labeling Points on the Unit Circle uses special triangles and their side lengths to determine the coordinates of special points on the unit circle. The Zoom adaptation includes a link to a Google Jamboard which features reference triangles to mark side lengths on as well as interactive triangles that can be moved, rotated, and scaled to fit within the unit circle which allows students to determine the coordinates in the same way as the original version.
