The name gives homage to the fine work of the American Statistical Association’s impressive GAISE report.1 Like that document our primary audience is you the teacher. While we hope that test and policy makers will read this document and use it in their decision-making, it has been written for the front-line teacher. We hope and intend that these guidelines will be of help as you incorporate the practice of mathematical modeling into your classrooms. A major reason for the creation of GAIMME was the fact that, despite the usefulness and value in demonstrating how mathematics can help analyze and guide decision making for real world messy problems, many people have limited experience with math modeling. We wanted to paint a clearer picture of mathematical modeling (what it is and what it isn’t) as a process and how the teaching of that process can mature as students move through the grade bands, independent of the mathematical knowledge they may bring to bear. HOW TO USE THIS While we very much hope that you have the time and interest to read this document DOCUMENT cover to cover, it has been written to permit a more focused reading as well. The opening section, “What is Mathematical Modeling?” is intended for every reader and contains the main arguments for the inclusion of mathematical modeling across all grade levels. It is a necessary introduction to each of the succeeding sections. This chapter is followed by three grade-level chapters: early grades, high school, and undergraduate. As a teacher you may wish, naturally, to proceed from “What is Mathematical Modeling?” to the relevant grade level section. However, we encourage you to look at preceding and/or subsequent sections to get a clearer idea of how the modeling process can progress from grade level to grade level. v While these grade level sections have naturally a somewhat different voice, they have important common elements. Each begins by making the case for teaching mathematical modeling at that level. Where relevant, we discuss how teaching the mathematical modeling process at a particular level differs from how that process was treated at the prior level. This is independent of the mathematical topics brought to bear in creating the models. Each section contains a collection of exemplary tasks. These tasks have been chosen for one or more of the following reasons: – They are interesting and/or important for students to experience. – They exemplify specific components of the modeling cycle. – They are doable by real students in real classrooms in real time. Because modeling problems can be extremely rich and most often require reexamining our assumptions, they can require time (and pages) to explore. For this reason we have included several of the longer tasks and explanations in Appendices B and C. In each grade level section we spend time discussing both the teaching of mathematics through the modeling process and the teaching of the modeling process itself. In addition we discuss the characteristics of appropriate assessments. Because of this structure you may find some duplication of ideas. This is intentional. While there are certain differences in how one teaches mathematical modeling from grade to grade, there are a number of important features they share in common and that deserve emphasis. Following the educational level sections we revisit the question of “What is Mathematical Modeling” through a series of quotes and comments from the author team. This section, intended for all readers, is included to emphasize the art and flavor of modeling from the perspective of practitioners and mathematics educators. The report includes a Resources Appendix A, designed to sample some of the important modeling assessments and curricula materials in wide usage. A discussion of what makes a good modeling assessment is also included in the Resources section, along with a discussion of how to adapt assessments to meet different modeling goals. We conclude with an Appendix D, which contains helpful examples of rubrics and assessment tools which may be used when teaching mathematical modeling or teaching mathematics through modeling. A few things that the GAIMME report is not: It is not intended as a curriculum. It does not contain a full set of modeling problems. It is not designed as a collection of lesson plans for immediate classroom use, nor a complete set of classroom assessments. Rather, the purpose of these guidelines is to give a sense what mathematical modeling is and isn’t and practical advice on how to teach modeling through the grade levels. We have tried to demonstrate the importance of mathematical modeling and how and why it should be an essential part of every student’s mathematics experience throughout their education. vi vii 1. viii WHAT IS MATHEMATICAL MODELING? INTRODUCTION In the course of a student’s mathematics education, the word “model” is used in many ways. Several of these, such as manipulatives, demonstration, role modeling, and conceptual models of mathematics, are valuable tools for teaching and learning. However, they are different from the practice of mathematical modeling. Mathematical modeling, both in the workplace and in school, uses mathematics to answer big, messy, reality-based questions. Speaking in this report to our colleagues as teachers, supervisors, and teacher educators, we share our experience in the classroom so that, with appropriate facilitation from teachers, students can engage in genuine modeling activities and use mathematics to answer questions that they find meaningful and will enhance their futures. The authors of this report firmly believe that mathematical modeling should be taught at every stage of a student’s mathematical education. After all, why does society give us so much time to teach mathematics? In part, it is because mathematics is important for its own sake, but mostly because mathematics is important in dealing with the rest of the world. Certainly mathematics will help students as they move on through school and into the world of work. But it can and should help them in their daily lives and as informed citizens. It is crucial that students’ experiences with mathematical modeling, as they progress through the grades, give them exposure to a wide variety of problems — how do we determine the average rainfall in a state? Where’s the best place to locate a fire station? What is a fair voting system? How can I hang pictures along a staircase so they look straight? As we demonstrate in subsequent sections of this report, students can learn and appreciate the importance of 1. modeling in their lives at all educational levels. 9 BUT WHAT IS In the sections below we will provide several examples of what modeling is and isn’t. We MATHEMATICAL will give a more detailed working definition of mathematical modeling. But to describe it in a MODELING? nutshell: Mathematical modeling is a process that uses mathematics to represent, analyze, make predictions or otherwise provide insight into real-world phenomena. Most short definitions we find emphasize this most important aspect, namely the relation between modeling and the world around us. – Using the language of mathematics to quantify real-world phenomena and analyze behaviors. – Using math to explore and develop our understanding of real world problems. – An iterative problem solving process in which mathematics

    DREAMS My Journey with Multiple Sclerosis By Kristie Salerno Kent DREAMS: MY JOURNEY WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. Copyright © 2013 by Acorda Therapeutics®, Inc. All rights reserved. Printed in the United States of America. Author’s Note I always dreamed of a career in the entertainment industry until a multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis changed my life. Rather than give up on my dream, following my diagnosis I decided to fight back and follow my passion. Songwriting and performance helped me find the strength to face my challenges and help others understand the impact of MS. “Dreams: My Journey with Multiple Sclerosis,” is an intimate and honest story of how, as people living with MS, we can continue to pursue our passion and use it to overcome denial and find the courage to take action to fight MS. It is also a story of how a serious health challenge does not mean you should let go of your plans for the future. The word 'dreams' may end in ‘MS,’ but MS doesn’t have to end your dreams. It has taken an extraordinary team effort to share my story with you. This book is dedicated to my greatest blessings - my children, Kingston and Giabella. You have filled mommy's heart with so much love, pride and joy and have made my ultimate dream come true! To my husband Michael - thank you for being my umbrella during the rainy days until the sun came out again and we could bask in its glow together. Each end of our rainbow has two pots of gold… our precious son and our beautiful daughter! To my heavenly Father, thank you for the gifts you have blessed me with.

  • Online Ajumma: Self-Presentations of Contemporary Elderly Women Via Digital Media in Korea Jungyoun Moon and Crystal Abidin
    8 Online ajumma: Self-presentations of contemporary elderly women via digital media in Korea Jungyoun Moon and Crystal Abidin Introduction Ajumma is a pronoun that refers to middle-aged and married women, but it is more likely to be used as a proper noun that only exists and is used as an everyday word in Korea. The cultural implications of being an ajumma cannot be defined in a word and is difficult to translate (Cho Han, 2002), but it can be situated in the Korean cultural and social context. In general, the common elements that consider whether a woman is an ajumma is determined by being a certain age range (mid-30s to early-70s), being married and having children, expressing specific behaviours (loud voices, being meddlesome), and adopting certain aesthetics of self-presentation (permed hair, gaudy fashion style). In most cases, ajumma-rous women are assigned this status primarily based on their outer appearance. These ajumma-rous elements are stereotypical and disdainful but prevalent in Korean society, and ajummas are often portrayed as clichés. This chapter examines the economic and sociocultural history of ajummas, how they are represented in the Korean media and culture, and how they subsequently self-present via new media technologies to create their own forms of expression and creativity. In the mainstream media, ajummas were used to be represented as objects (Chung, 2008). However, they have become subjects of the media, specifically social media, and they now actively participate in creating their own media culture and communities through the usage of smartphones in their everyday practices.

To diagnose side effects in the radical progress of the digital transformation and to prescribe for Korea’s forward challenging tasks to the government, Korean civil society brought together in the Citizens’ Coalition for Economic Justice to lead these topics by two working groups for the panel discussion with our ten experts; to pull together this, we had made comprehensive literature reviews of the digital rights, the digital economy, and a general public survey on the digital governance, also. And our report was contributed to the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung in Korea. From here and now, we’ll run Korea’s challenging stories about our digital zeitgeist by UN to guide a road-to-“Digital” conversion and mutual coöperation in a new order to do our business in the light of day.—It’s really something.

Introduction The year is 2005. The global recorded music industry revenue is a total of 20 billion American dollars (all currency applied will be in USD and noted with $). Even though this is undoubtedly a hefty sum, the global recorded music industry has lost $3.3 billion since the new millennium started. Internet piracy is widespread and the online video-sharing site, YouTube, is launched this year as well. What no one could predict was what the future held for the global music industry. It took ten years for the global music industry to start showing positive figures once again since its heyday. After losing an additional $4.3 billion, the total revenue of the music industry in 2016 landed on $15.7 billion dollars (“Global Market Overview” 2017).

  • Ilife ACTIVITIES 2020-2021
    iLIFE ACTIVITIES 2020-2021 BY MEMBERS, FOR MEMBERS SIGN UP AT WWW.SPRINGRUN.COM SPRING RUN’S ILIFE PROGRAM In a nutshell, iLife is a presentation series and social club created by Spring Run members for Spring Run members. Member volunteers, along with guest presenters from other clubs and area organizations, give presentations, facilitate clinics, and lead discussion groups all at no cost to participants (the only time there is a fee is for certain art or culinary classes and that is clearly stated in the activity description). iLife has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a free program offering just tennis lessons to now offering a diverse selection of over 100 unique activities each season. Counting recurring sessions and entire series, there are actually closer to 200 iLife activities each season that participants don’t just attend to learn, but also to meet new friends and neighbors, and see familiar faces. Once all the golf, bocce, tennis and neighborhood associations schedule their annual meetings and functions, iLife activities are given the green light to fill the gaps in the calendar. With around 2,500 registrations on average each season, iLife brings a lot of members to the clubhouse. We are happy to report that over half of those participants indicate walking, biking or carpooling to iLife activities cutting down on the perpetual parking problem at the clubhouse. The ultimate success of iLife is thanks to the quality work of its member volunteers. They advocate for the program, serve as ambassadors, compose the advisory committee and facilitate the majority of the activities.
