Innovation Grants Engineers Teaching Algebra
Karie Will, a D300 DMS innovative educator explains her real world hands-on
examples of why we need Algebra. Her innovative grant also provides Career Education to middle school students.
Good job Karie!!!
The program is
entitled Engineers Teaching Algebra and consisted of a ninety minute lesson showcasing the algebra behind engineering. Mark
Love, a Civil Engineer from New Jersey, presented a traffic problem to students. Students were asked to determine the appropriate
time for each light phase of an intersection. Students had to consider all possibilities for every lane and take into account
where traffic flow conflicts could occur. The presenter stressed the importance of estimating, not relying on a calculator,
working as a team, and the use of algebra in making computations easier. The program was very relevant and it is my hope to
make this program annual.
