The rooms were designed to be aestheticallyengaging to the students.The students were provided with a binder of resource materials, including a step-by-step guide tobuilding a computer. This material was supplemented with lessons about computer componentsand demonstrations on how to build a computer. The materials were designed to accommodatevarious learning styles (i.e. tactile, visual, audio) and create a strong foundation for the remainingcomputing activities (see Figure 3, 4, & 5). Through short lectures, we could simulate a collegeclassroom that might prepare students for their own college careers. The students were avidlisteners and raised thoughtful questions. We divided

Through this, the students could visualize how the quadratic formula computesthe height of an object in free fall and how programming languages can be used to createapplications such as those used in gaming systems. To create the animation, the position of the ball should automatically be recorded foreach frame. The height formula computes the height at any given point in time given initialvelocity and gravity. The value of t will vary from 1 up to a certain number of frames. To do so,the scripting language Python is used, and a frame is recorded at every value of t.

I think this seminar showed how important mathematical concepts are outside of the classroom and promoted exploration and intrigue in the learning process. I am very interested in attempting to use some of these strategies in my classroom to increase student engagement and show them the utility of mathematics. The seminar was very informative and implemented a numerous amount of activities and strategies that can be applied at the high school level.

Visualization tools give students an illustration, animation,or other visual metaphors to work with in scaffolding their understanding of the concepts.
