thesis talk transcript
thesis talk transcriptHailey Zie Evans Hailey Evans and her thesis mentor Professor Stokes developed a mathematics curriculum called Only The NUMBERS Count for kindergarten through second grade. Their research found it helps students master concepts more easily and perform above average on state tests aligned with Common Core standards. It uses a single manipulative called blocks and a base-10 counting system to make math less abstract. Their longitudinal study of three classrooms from kindergarten to second grade found students consistently scored above the 50th percentile on state tests using this curriculum. They conclude it allows students to exceed Common Core expectations and revisions should be made to incorporate its approach.

2014 Limacon Memo
2014 Limacon MemoA Jorge Garcia Mr. García attended the LIMACON 2014 conference where he learned about new teaching tools and techniques. The keynote speaker recommended an interactive website for common core math activities. A presenter convinced Mr. García to switch to the TI nSpire CX CAS graphing calculator for its high resolution color screen and built-in computer algebra system. Another session demonstrated using Vernier probes for data collection and analysis on the TI nSpire CX CAS. Based on what he learned, Mr. García recommends computer algebra systems for teaching math and science but the TI nSpire CX CAS for courses requiring graphing calculators on exams.

Surviving (and thriving) in the Age of Technology-Enhanced Instruction
Surviving (and thriving) in the Age of Technology-Enhanced InstructionMaria H. Andersen With every new iteration of technology, we create generations of students whose primary media "language" for learning and interacting with the world is different than the generation before it. In the last five years, technologies like online homework, personalized learning software, mobile devices, learning analytics, OER, and MOOCs have been chipping away at the corners of higher education and traditional teaching. Technology-enhanced learning is here to stay and it will alter formal education, like it or not. This is a guide to navigating and thriving in this new world and preparing yourself and students for what is to come.

The role of wall art in interior designing
The role of wall art in interior designingmeghaark2110 Wall patterns are designs or motifs applied directly to the wall using paint, wallpaper, or decals. These patterns can be geometric, floral, abstract, or textured, and they add depth, rhythm, and visual interest to a space.
Wall art and wall patterns are not merely decorative elements, but powerful tools in shaping the identity, mood, and functionality of interior spaces. They serve as visual expressions of personality, culture, and creativity, transforming blank and lifeless walls into vibrant storytelling surfaces. Wall art, whether abstract, realistic, or symbolic, adds emotional depth and aesthetic richness to a room, while wall patterns contribute to structure, rhythm, and continuity in design. Together, they enhance the visual experience, making spaces feel more complete, welcoming, and engaging. In modern interior design, the thoughtful integration of wall art and patterns plays a crucial role in creating environments that are not only beautiful but also meaningful and memorable. As lifestyles evolve, so too does the art of wall decor—encouraging innovation, sustainability, and personalized expression within our living and working spaces.

Welcome Letter Limacon 2016
- 1. LIMAÇON 2016 Date: 2016.03.11 Title: “SAGE Advice: Calculus!” Audience: Math 11, 12 + College Description: Hello and welcome to LIMAÇON 2016! Thank you for coming to my presentation. Please allow me to introduce myself. I have taught all levels of Mathematics at Baldwin Senior High school for 32 years and Nassau Community College for 21 years. I've taught programming since 1975, High School Math, Computer Science & Physics since 1984, College Math and Computing since 1993, Cluster Programming since 2002 and Scientific Computing since 2011. The way I teach math has evolved greatly over the past 10 years. For example, I have “Flipped the Classroom.” I've also been “SmartBoarding” and “ScreenCasting” for at least 5 years. I share all my SmartNotes and MP4s with my students on Edmodo, BlogSpot and Youtube. I have always been in the forefront when it comes to adopting new and effective technologies for use inside and outside of my mathematics classroom. During the 1990s I was one of the first to promote the use of Graphing Calculators in all Math and Science classes. However, I am here today to tell you that we are in the midst of another revolution in computing technology. These new computing environments include everything from Computer Algebra Systems and programming languages to Super Computers and Scientific Computing. So, today I will speak about how I use SAGE instead of a Graphing Calculator in Calculus class. Let me show you how I use a Computer Algebra System, such as SAGE, to teach High School and College Math curricula. Sincerely, A.
