We make enormous promises to our students that mathematics models the world they live in, that math has power in their world. We attempt to make good on that promise with word problems that look nothing like that world and look nothing like modeling as it’s practiced by mathematicians. In this session, Dan Meyer will help teachers explore how digital photos and videos can help us engage and challenge our students in the modeling practice of the CCSS.

Learning Outcome:
1. Participants will explore the Math CCSS modeling standard.
2. Participants will learn how digital photos and videos can help us engage and challenge our students in the modeling practice of the CCSS.
