9 Indiana:  PS.1, PS.3, PS.6; ITEEA:  6, 10; CSTA 5.3.A.CT.1, 5.3.A.CL.2 In an increasing move away from paper textbooks and toward one-to-one technology, students are beginning to struggle with connecting what they have learned in the classroom to what they are practicing at home.  Notes are taken using cameras on smartphones and anything new or different is immediately labeled as too difficult by many students who are math-phobic.  This module will introduce students to a summarization technique that will personalize the math they are learning and cement the knowledge into their long-term memories 2016

9 Indiana: AII.SE.2, AII.SE.3; ITEEA: 1, 2. In this module we will briefly review the Algebra 1 skills of solving equations and graphing lines. We will then look at the skills of solving a system of two equations and two unknowns both graphically and algebraically. We will then extend this concept to a system of 3 equations and 3 unknowns. Throughout the unit we will look at application problems that are all focused around the concept of a transistor. This module is set up for an Algebra II course that is set on a block schedule where we meet daily. It could be adapted to a traditional block schedule or another schedule by combing lessons and application problem sets. 2016

11 Forthcoming This module provides an introduction to Python data frames and dictionaries -- i.e., to create data set in Python -- for high school math students.  It considers how to draw plots, determine a prediction model that best fits the data, and use the model to predict something new.  Students also analyze test data with Python to generate various statistical measurements, etc. 2022

11 Indiana:  PC.F.1, PC.F.2, PC.F.4, PC.F.5, PC.F.6, PC.F.7, PC.QPR.1, PC.QPR.2, PC.EL.4 Students will be capable of Modeling Data with Functions.  They will In this three-week unit, students will review and extend their knowledge of polynomial functions (Linear, quadratic, cubic) and the potential models they are capable of making with and without technology. Students will further their knowledge of the importance and the role of technology while continuing to analyze functions and their properties. Students will review and extend their knowledge of the algebra and geometry of transformations and will review the usefulness of organizing, displaying, and graphing their results by hand and with graphing utilities and computer spreadsheet software.  The unit concludes by performing a data scrape from a website onto a computer spreadsheet, model the data with a polynomial function, analyze the data in order to determine correlation, make predictions, draw conclusions, or infer relationships between the data.  Students will interpret, analyze and organize the data, build tables and graphs, and use graphing utilities to support conclusions made from the data.   2016

10, 11 ITEEA:  13.J; 17.N; Indiana:  PS.3, PS.DA.1 Students will work in pairs to select data of their interest from a variety of Internet sites, including ESPN, IMDB, Wolfram Alpha|Pro, etc. They will use Excel to import the data, sort and organize it, and choose pairs of variables to analyze by graphing and calculating a variety of statistics. They will ultimately report their inferences and conclusions, explaining their findings with evidence from the graphs and statistics, and discuss the logical implications of their results. 2016

Students will further their knowledge of the importance and the role of technology while continuing to analyze linear functions and their properties. Students will review and extend their knowledge of the algebra and geometry of transformations and will review the usefulness of organizing, displaying, and graphing their results by hand and with graphing utilities. Students will conclude their understanding of the unit by performing a basic hand computation of linear regression (least squared method), complete regression analysis with technology (also understand, line of best fit, r2, r, and the correlation coefficient and their importance and significance).   2017

6, 7, 8 CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP1-5 The goal of this module is to introduce students to real-world and computer science applications of mathematics and to engage students in problem solving opportunities to become familiar with persevering through problem solving and to build a “toolkit” of problem solving strategies. By the end of this module, students will have an understanding of problem solving strategies and how computer science is a diverse field that anyone can participate in. 2021

Data points regarding Moore’s law fit an exponential curve well, while data-center and ICT energy usage is a little more complicated. There is some uncertainty with both. Assumptions are made that exponential curves fit, but linear seems to be able to cover it as well. 2019
