Final Post of Inquiry 1 :(

What I learned:

  • There is a place for fun in the Math classroom
  • Inquiry is about:
    • giving students choice
    • asking questions
    • allowing students to do the work they are interested in
  • "Country Life" by the Watersons

New ideas and insights I take away:

  • "disembodied" learning does not promote real learning
  • The garden can be a great place for a math classroom
  • STEAM learning can have advantages for many students
  • There are so many applications of STEAM in the STEM classroom
    • Art + Math
    • Dance + Math
    • Theatre + Physics
    • Nature + Math/Physics
    • Art + Astronomy
    • Math + Astronomy
    • Math + Seasons
    • Math + Physics 
    • Film + Math/Physics
    • Storytelling + STEM

Suggestions for improvement:

  • Maybe if the presentations were spread over 3 days instead of 2 they felt a bit rushed
  • A little bit more feedback on the blog posts might have helped
