ABQ Intermediate Mathematics - SCAVENGER HUNT When? ||  Teacher Inquiry Plan - July 8th, 2009 Technology Webquest - July 10th, 2009
 * 1 || What assignments are due first?

 || so the fraction is 6/120 or 1/20 th of the course or 3.5 hours = one session; 1 day = 2 sessions = 7 hours 10 days x 2 sessions per day = 20 sessions in total, therefore one session is equivalant to 1/20. || - be prepared for each class, be punctual, and actively participate in all activities
 * 2 || What fraction of the course is one session? || 6 h per day for 60 h and 60 h of research and work on my teacher inquiry.
 * 3 || What are the responsibilities of the participants in this course? || To adhere to York's policy regarding attendance and participation (i.e. includes assigments handed in on time; participating in class discussions; doing the readings etc) ||

Learning different representations of how math problems are solved in relation to curriculum requirements. || National Library for Virtual Manipulatives - nlvm.usu.edu/en/NAV/vlibrary.html see page 13 of readings handout || Way to go - its throughout the course outline and that's the jist of what we will be doing over and over. ||
 * 4 || Which assignments are for assessment for learning tasks? How do you know? || Assessment for learning tasks – all the assignments are building towards the teacher inquiry task (analytic journal, technology webquest, math tasks 1 and 2, learning theories paper, topic discussions, annotated bibliography). Mary lou advised that only the final Teacher Inquiry would be assessment of learning. ||
 * 5 || What is one theme of this course? || learning and teaching mathematics through problem solving; technology; inquiry – curious – raise questions; ||
