Do you sometimes feel that you do not belong in this program, or some of its courses? The instructors assure you that you do belong! To help combat that sense of imposter syndrome that you might be feeling, let's explore the notion that your cognitive styles of learning are similar to your peers' learning styles.

You may already know that OSU and other universities have studied course materials and technical tools to make improvements that level the playing field amongst you and your peers. Programs such as Cognitive Style Heuristics and GenderMag/InclusiveMag study differences in how people problem-solve while learning new technical skills. The projects' core methods of finding bias bugs in software and materials is to apply personas that represent different sets of cognitive facets.

Explore the Facets and Personas by clicking on the tabs at the top, then analyze which persona fits you best, by taking the Survey.

In the first part of this video introduction to combinatorics, we introduce factorial notation to efficiently describe the ways we can arrange distinguishable objects in a row. Next, we count the combinations of L objects that can be grabbed from a container of L + N total objects. Finally, we use the formula for combinations to derive the binomial theorem.

Students will practice skills in problem solving and verbally communicating the steps to solving using Flipgrid.

This lesson focuses on comparing and ordering fractions in ways that encourage deeper understanding of’ ‘number sense’ by supporting learners to consider different techniques to order and compare fractions with different numerators and denominators. The three techniques covered in this lesson are those used to compare fractions with like numerators or denominators, unlike numerators or denominators and by comparing to a 1/2 benchmark. Emphasis are placed on the two latter techniques. Activities and practice exercises involve real-world problems including sales discounts, cooking measurements and school score reports.

A demonstration of the distributive property of multiplication using models. This video is less than 15 minutes.

An introduction and examples of how to use Correlation and Simple Linear Regression. Explaining concepts as coefficient of correlation, dependent variables, independent variables and the straight line equation and residuals.

Building textual evidence through close reading of texts is a core proficiency addressed by the Common Core State Standards. This template is intended to support two or more educators in working collaboratively to create a cross-curricular lesson that supports students in honing their close reading skills, making inferences from texts, and constructing logical, evidence-based arguments. The toolkit was written for collaborative teams of ELA, Math and Social Studies or Science teachers, but can be used by other subject area configurations as well. The toolkit was developed by ISKME in collaboration with educators from 8 different states, who possessed varied subject area expertise.

This is a remix of https://www.oercommons.org/authoring/29037-curriculum-guide-the-pythagorean-theorem/view by Shana Friend, with a few resources added at the beginning to provide more conceptual connections.

The purpose of this curriculum guide is to provide OER lesson material and support activities for Pythagorean Theorem instruction. It is geared towards GED® requirements. Both printable and online options are provided.

Course Description: This course will assist learners to find the math that is used in the real-world. Learners will learn how to solve real-life problems using mathematical stills they will acquire as they work through these lessons. By the end of this course, learners will be able to design their own project and discuss the math in it with their classmates.

Today's math curriculum is teaching students to expect -- and excel at -- paint-by-numbers classwork, robbing kids of a skill more important than solving problems: formulating them. In his talk, Dan Meyer shows classroom-tested math exercises that prompt students to stop and think. (Filmed at TEDxNYED.)

Faculty considering a demonstration speech as a class assignment should use a demonstration speech evaluation form for the assignment. The evaluation form or rubric will permit more efficient grading on the part of faculty. The evaluation form contains criteria which is traditionally used when evaluating a speech.

An introduction and examples of how to use Descriptive Statistics. It is about how we present and decribe the data in our sample in the best possible way. This covers tabels, graphs, measures of location and measures of spread/variability.

A resource to help instructors design quality online discussions.

Created as part of a project in the 2017-18 Cross-institutional ID2ID Peer Mentoring Program for Instructional Designers co-sponsored by Penn State University and the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) (http://www.id2id.org). Examples are provided for Canvas LMS users. However, you may copy (Remix) and edit for another LMS or improve it as described in the "Improve this resource" section to earn an open digital badge.

Before creating this OER, content was shared with and improved upon through suggestions from instructional professionals in the ID2ID and Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) communities.

Adult Educators do not have a lot of time to dive into dozens of resources spread all over the internet to try to find the essential items they need to create a high-quality lesson for their students. This guide is designed to walk you through each step of creating a math lesson-plan with recommended OER that you can evaluate.

With each step of the guide, I create a sample lesson on learning the Pythagorean Theorem. By the end, you have an entire lesson plan example for this concept.

In this deterministic cellular automata model, interactions between neighboring automata are described using a prisoner's dilemma. Limiting dispersal of seeds of annual plants can permit heterogeneous co-existence, whereas thorough mixing instead allows one subpopulation to dominate quickly.

In this video, we use direction fields (drawn as quiver plots) to illustrate the numerical integration of differential equations. We include a heuristic example of how one might try to adapt step size by comparing different orders of approximation.
