The Effects Of Integrating Lego Robotics Into A Mathematics Curriculum To Promote The Development Of Proportional Reasoning, Shelli L. Casler-Failing

Middle Grades & Secondary Education: Faculty Publications

A mixed methods, action research case study was conducted to investigate the effects of incorporating LEGO robotics into a seventh-grade mathematics curriculum focused on the development of proportional reasoning through the lens of Social Constructivist Theory. This study applied students’ prior knowledge of the distance, rate, and time formula as they used LEGO EV3 robots to calculate the rate of a robot. The information gained was applied to different iterations, and structures, of the formula to support the development of proportional reasoning skills. The purposefully designed lessons were integral to the development of the students’ understanding of the proportionality existing …

Hodge Theory On Transversely Symplectic Foliations, Yi Lin

Mathematical Sciences: Faculty Publications

In this paper, we develop symplectic Hodge theory on transversely symplectic foliations. In particular, we establish the symplectic dδ-lemma for any such foliations with the (transverse) s-Lefschetz property. As transversely symplectic foliations include many geometric structures, such as contact manifolds, co-symplectic manifolds, symplectic orbifolds, and symplectic quasi-folds as special examples, our work provides a unifying treatment of symplectic Hodge theory in these geometries.

As an application, we show that on compact K-contact manifolds, the s-Lefschetz property implies a general result on the vanishing of cup products, and that the cup length of a 2n+1 dimensional compact K-contact manifold with the …

Discipline With Love And Logic, Sandy Demuth

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

This presentation provides four Love and Logic strategies appropriate for K-12 teachers. These strategies will assist teachers in addressing minor classroom disruptions that sometimes grow into time-consuming problems. Participants will be able to immediately implement these easy-to-use strategies that help build positive student-teacher relationships and a positive classroom climate.

Finding Your Zen: Mindfulness In The Classroom, Stephen Fusco

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

Meditation, mindfulness and transcendental activities are gaining popularity in today's society. There are "apps" to take a five minute meditation from the day and there are numerous studies showing the benefits of mindful practices in everyday life. This session is dedicated to teachers, parents and advocates looking for ways to incorporate mindfulness practices into their daily lives.

A Geophysical Investigation Of Stratigraphy And Structure On St. Catherines Island, Georgia, Anne M. Delua

Honors College Theses

Geophysical tools were used to investigate potential structural and stratigraphic pathways of the salt water intrusion that is affecting the surficial aquifer on St. Catherines Island, Georgia. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a geophysical tool that uses electromagnetic waves to view the subsurface. GPR is used for a variety of applications stratigraphically, biologically, and anthropogenically. GPR electromagnetic waves react to changes in density and composition and type and percentage of pore fluids in sediment and rock. GPR waves also react to interfaces including fractures and faults. GPR waves exhibit attenuation and decreased return signal in materials such as clay. Fresh …

Edge Colorings Of Complete Multipartite Graphs Forbidding Rainbow Cycles, Peter Johnson, Andrew Owens

Theory & Applications of Graphs

It is well known that if the edges of a finite simple connected graph on n vertices are colored so that no cycle is rainbow, then no more than n-1 colors can appear on the edges. In previous work it has been shown that the essentially different rainbow-cycle-forbidding edge colorings of K_n with n-1 colors appearing are in 1-1 correspondence with (can be encoded by) the (isomorphism classes of) full binary trees with n leafs. In the encoding, the natural Huffman labeling of each tree arising from the assignment of 1 to each leaf plays a role. Very recently …
