10:15 Part Four: Break 10:30 Part Five: Looking at Math Trails....Digital Cameras in Math to Prepare for Our Math Project. To prepare to plan for your math project I have prepared some web sites, movies, and files that you can look at and discuss. There are several ways of working with the digital photos. 1. In the Math Trail which is an extended project in which students take pictures of their school community and then write math problems to go with each picture. The Math Trails are shared with other schools/communities and students benefit from both creating and solving math problems as well as learning about math in their community and also about their own and other communities. 2. In other projects students take digital pictures and describe a math concept that the picture depicts. 3. Students could brainstorm all the topics/concepts they have covered to date in math and then go out and take pictures related to the topics/concepts or students could take the pictures first and match them to math topics/concepts as they find the pictures. 4. How we share the pictures with the conferencing classes will depend on the above as well. Kay Tolliver is one teacher who does lots of speaking to the Math Trail. Handout. View three short videos. Info from Math Trail Website 5. Digital Cameras and Math Read the following. Math Activities Using a Digital Camera Brochure 38 Things You Can Do with a Digital Camera in Math Future of Math: Skim this website Photos from Flickr that students wrote math questions about 11:00 Part Six: What will our project look like and how will we get there. 11:30 Part Seven: Picking times for the 2nd conference to present.
