Increasing Student Engagement In The Secondary Math Classroom, Chantell Holloway Walker
Increasing Student Engagement In The Secondary Math Classroom, Chantell Holloway Walker
LSU Master's Theses
This thesis reports on a professional development package developed by the author to help three teachers increase the level of student engagement in their math classrooms. There were three phases: 1) initial presentation of strategies and sample lessons, 2) classroom implementation, 3) reflection and evaluation. As a result of the professional development, the Louisiana Compass Teacher Evaluation Rubric scores of the teachers improved in the area of student engagement. This thesis can be used as a guide for principals or instructional specialists who wish to provide professional development for small groups of teachers, with a focus on increasing student engagement.
A Study Of Mathematical Equivalence: The Importance Of The Equal Sign, Christy De'sha Duncan
A Study Of Mathematical Equivalence: The Importance Of The Equal Sign, Christy De'sha Duncan
LSU Master's Theses
The purpose of this study was to investigate students’ understanding and knowledge of the equal sign, so that instructional resources could be identified to improve student’s conceptual understanding about mathematical equivalence. A test, consisting of a combination of items taken from previous studies, as well as items developed by the researchers, was designed to gauge students’ understanding of the equality symbol. The test was administered to 54 seventh-graders in Spring 2015. The results of the test indicated a significant number of students in our district have a limited understanding of mathematical equivalence. This papers ends with some suggested activities recommended …
Shape Optimization For Drag Minimization Using The Navier-Stokes Equation, Chukwudi Paul Chukwudozie
Shape Optimization For Drag Minimization Using The Navier-Stokes Equation, Chukwudi Paul Chukwudozie
LSU Master's Theses
Fluid drag is a force that opposes relative motion between fluid layers or between solids and surrounding fluids. For a stationary solid in a moving fluid, it is the amount of force necessary to keep the object stationary in the moving fluid. In addition to fluid and flow conditions, pressure drag on a solid object is dependent on the size and shape of the object. The aim of this project is to compute the shape of a stationary 2D object of size 3.5 m2 that minimizes drag for different Reynolds numbers. We solve the problem in the context of shape …

Exploring Rational Numbers In Middle School, Robyn Jasmin Boudoin
LSU Master's Theses
The move by the state of Louisiana to fully implement the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) from 2013 -2014 school year on and to align all state mandated tests to the CCSS has caused teachers to change the way they teach and how they deliver content. The overall most crucial new part of the CCSS in Mathematics is the emphasis on the “Standards for Mathematical Practice”. In order to illustrate the meaning of the Mathematical Practice Standards, non routine problems must be used that allow students and teachers to “dig deeper” and practice their mathematical habits of mind. Rational numbers …
