Engineering Applications for Middle School Mathematics Education: Supporting an Inquiry-Based Classroom EnvironmentAbstract - Engineering faculty at the University of Alabama at Birmingham are participating ina middle school mathematics partnership, involving nine school districts (administrators,teachers, parents) and higher education faculty at two universities, and the MathematicsEducation Collaborative (MEC). The partnership promotes inquiry-based learning curriculamodeled after the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Principles and Standards forSchool Mathematics. The engineering faculty contribution to the partnership lies in theconnection of mathematics to real world applications and to users of mathematics within

The second per- spective comes from the mathematics education research literature. There is a well-established paradox: students often fail to apply familiar methods when they attempt to solve novel problems. Coordinating these perspectives has facilitated the collaboration across disciplines.Ms. Malissa Augustin, FAUSantiago Aguerrevere Page 26.1242.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Precision Low
