Using Video Clips To Identify And Promote Children's Rights As Mathematics Learners, Crystal Kalinec-Craig
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
The Rights of the Learner state that children have four rights they can exercise in the classroom: 1) the right to be confused; 2) the right to claim a mistake; 3) the right to speak, listen, and be heard; and 4) the right to write, do and represent what makes sense to you. In this paper, the author discusses how she uses a video clip of Gretchen solving a multi-digit subtraction problem as a way of helping elementary teacher candidates learn how to attend to children’s mathematical thinking and moments when they exercise their rights as learners. Implications for equity …

Investing Under Uncertainty: Mathematical Models And Computer Simulations, Alfinio Flores
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
Students do probabilistic models for investment strategies and bankroll management. Students develop a better understanding for the Kelly criterion as a function of paying odds using an interactive graph. Then students conduct computer simulations to compare two investment strategies, first investing a fixed amount, and then using the Kelly criterion.
