Teaching Math: The STEM Way

I'm so excited to be presenting for the first time at the National Singapore Math Conference on July 16.  this will be flipped session where participants were asked to view a video of background information and then will come to the session prepared to extend the information provided in the video and to put the new learning to work while redesigning existing math lessons.  

As I was reviewing the video the other day, I realized that maybe everyone could gain a little something from it.  So here it is!  Let me know what you think or if you have any questions!'
