Number Sense

XI. Class 11

A. A. Introduction to Computer Based Laboratory (CBL)

B. Class works through an investigation together that uses the CBL

• Math in Motion

• Bouncing Ball

• Chill Out

C. Pascal's Triangle, Fibonacci Sequence, and Gauss Strategy

Participants should choose investigations that involve:

• Creating and applying Pascal's Triangle
• Recognizing and applying Fibonacci patterns and numbers, the Gauss strategy for computation, and Geometric sequences and series
• Exploring the Golden Ratio

Participants explore some of the following investigations focused on Pascal's Triangle, Fibonacci Sequence, and Gauss Strategy

• Pascal's Triangle

• Pascal’s Patterns

• Triangles inside Triangles

•  Fibonacci Sequence

• Fibonacci Extended

• Multiplying Rabbits

• Unit Fractions and Fibonacci

• Ratio of Fibonacci

• Geometric Sequence & Series

• Geometric Sequence & Series

• Gauss Strategy (sum of counting numbers)

• Summing Even

D. Participants add write-ups and middle school lesson plan to their online portfolios
