This are the slides from my Real World Math presentation.

1. Real World Math Using Technology to Create Context Heather B. Blanton Title I Mathematics Coach Wise County Public Schools

2. Will we REALLY use this in real life?

3. How many gallons of water do we need to fill the fish tank? How many minutes till lunch? How wide is this room? How many books do I need if we share in groups of 2? How many more seats are left in the auditorium? How long is the hallway? How much gas will it take to get to school? How many students packed a lunch today? How many slices do we need to cut the pizza for three equal pieces? Math is Everywhere!

4. Math Helps "Make Sense" of the Real World The NCTM says students must "explore and make sense of their world" (5-8.O) The NCTM believes "mathematics evolves naturally from problem situations that have meaning to children and are regularly related to their environment." (K-4.1)

10. Talking the Walk Many students are doing the procedures of math without knowing the reasons behind them. Students need opportunities to engage and express conceptual knowledge of math. Technology can give our multimodal learners new avenues to express conceptual understanding. We are forming and shaping our future math teachers.
