The Theatre Of Math: The Stage As A Tool For Abstract Math Education, Blaine Hudak
The Theatre Of Math: The Stage As A Tool For Abstract Math Education, Blaine Hudak
Honors Projects
So often in the education of Mathematics does instruction solely consist of the lecture. While this can be an effective method of communicating the ideas of math, it leaves much to be desired in gathering the interest and intrigue of those who have not dedicated their lives to the study of the subject. Theatre, by contrast, is a tool that has been used in the past as means of teaching complicated and difficult to understand moral and emotional subjects. While Theatre and Mathematics have been used in combination many times in the past, it is most often done in the …
An Exploratory Analysis Of The Bgsu Learning Commons Student Usage Data, Emily Eskuri
An Exploratory Analysis Of The Bgsu Learning Commons Student Usage Data, Emily Eskuri
Honors Projects
The purpose of this study was to explore past student usage data in individualized tutoring sessions from the Learning Commons from two academic years. The Bowling Green State University (BGSU) Learning Commons is a learning assistance center that offers various services, such as individualized tutoring, math assistance, writing assistance, study hours, and academic coaching. There have been limited research studies into how big data and analytics can have an impact in higher education, especially research utilizing predictive analytics.
This project applied analytics to individualized tutoring data in the Learning Commons to create a better understanding of why those trends happen …
The Pope's Rhinoceros And Quantum Mechanics, Michael Gulas
The Pope's Rhinoceros And Quantum Mechanics, Michael Gulas
Honors Projects
In this project, I unravel various mathematical milestones and relate them to the human experience. I show and explain the solution to the Tautochrone, a popular variation on the Brachistochrone, which details a major battle between Leibniz and Newton for the title of inventor of Calculus. One way to solve the Tautochrone is using Laplace Transforms; in this project I expound on common functions that get transformed and how those can be used to solve the Tautochrone. I then connect the solution of the Tautochrone to clock making. From this understanding of clocks, I examine mankind’s understanding of time and …
Student-Created Test Sheets, Samuel Laderach
Student-Created Test Sheets, Samuel Laderach
Honors Projects
Assessment plays a necessary role in the high school mathematics classroom, and testing is a major part of assessment. Students often struggle with mathematics tests and examinations due to math and test anxiety, a lack of student learning, and insufficient and inefficient student preparation. Practice tests, teacher-created review sheets, and student-created test sheets are ways in which teachers can help increase student performance, while ridding these detrimental factors. Student-created test sheets appear to be the most efficient strategy, and this research study examines the effects of their use in a high school mathematics classroom.
Fostoria Intermediate Elementary School Family Math Night, Chelsea Nye
Fostoria Intermediate Elementary School Family Math Night, Chelsea Nye
Honors Projects
This is a Family Math Night that was planned and held at Fostoria Intermediate Elementary School in Fostoria, Ohio. It includes the Research Questions, Literature Review, Proposed Activity, Methodology, and Expected Results as well as the Annotated Bibliography and Timeline for Completion from my research and planning. Following the Proposal are 20 mathematical activity or game lesson plans and direction sheets that were planned for the Family Math Night. There are 5 different mathematical activities or games for each grade level 3-6, each meeting a different domain in the Common Core State Standards. At the end there is two general …
