Sharareh Nikbahkt, Senior Lecturer, Department of Mathematical Sciences
Friday, Oct. 5, 2018
3-4 p.m.
103A Walker Hall
This talk is free and open to the public.
Integration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) into the K-12 curriculum not only improves math and science literacy, but also enables students to become critical thinkers and future innovators. Using real-world problems while teaching Math subjects creates excitement among students and gets them engaged. Development of creative and interesting K-12 STEM activities can be challenging and often teachers do not find the time, support and resources needed to create such activities. Nikbahkt will present a set of STEM activities that have been created based on the landmarks, natural resources, buildings and statues located on the Appalachian State University campus.
