Collaboration Stations: Interdisciplinary Math

My Students

The mission of our school is to develop its students to be knowledgeable, productive members of a global society through an education that promotes cultural awareness, skillful use of information, personal renewal, and both individual and community path-finding for the twenty-first century. It is the first school in New England to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) (grades 6-10) and Diploma Programme (DP) (grades 11-12) for all students. IB programmes develop the intellectual, personal, emotional, and social skills needed to live, learn, and work in a rapidly globalizing world. Our school uniquely supports “IB for all” for an urban, low-income population. Our school is a Title 1 (85%), low-income, high-needs school located at the edge of Boston’s Chinatown neighborhood and therefore has a high proportion of Chinese-American students; other significant groups include African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Somalis, Arabs, and other recent immigrants.

My Project

Math in 2017 is no longer just about solving problems on individual worksheets. Students in my classroom are working to build their teamwork and communication skills as they work to solve open-ended problems like building Barbie ziplines, designing gingerbread houses, interviewing teachers to design systems of equations that model their coffee consumption, and estimating the heights of statues using trigonometry. These projects include elements of Humanities and Science; next up will be Computer Science!

Getting trapezoid-shaped markerboard activity tables will allow them to easily draft and revise their work in flexible groups.

The shape of the table allows for different group sizes to work closely together on hands-on activities or with Chromebooks. The markerboards work well for doing math problems or writing code together. Though "low-tech" compared to the Chromebooks, markerboard supports students' ability to problem-solve together with the ease of seeing each other's thought processes and changing their work easily by erasing.
