Back To School

Now that the school year is under way, and the first few weeks have passed, things have calmed down enough that I am hoping to start working on continuing to develop my curriculum for my class integration of the concepts I learned while at ASU this summer working in the Center for Biological Physics. After familiarizing myself with my students and abilities, it is becoming clearer how I can integrate some of the concepts learned into the course in a beneficial matter. Many of the students in my math classes are also currently in Physics and took Biology last year. Due to this, they have a strong enough foundation in the background knowledge to grasp the concepts that I will be addressing in some depth. I am still struggling with how these concepts will tie directly into the geometry skills that the students are learning, however, I am seeing some possibilities for linking this material.
