Instructor comments on your project -- Jz833665 15:51, 15 October 2011 (EDT)

Hi Hailey, I've been quite impressed by your productive work in the first phase of this design project! Each section has been worked out nicely. An issue for you to consider: You mean to use problem-based learning as your focal strategy. You may focus the learning outcomes and objectives more on authentic problem solving than on calculation skills. It may help if you can specifically think about how your target math knowledge and skills are used in real world situations.

Instructor comments on your ICM -- Jz833665 15:04, 10 November 2011 (EST)

Your task analysis and ICM have been worked out nicely. One suggestion: I hope you can think about ways to make each unit more engaging and inquiry-oriented. For example, can you design an authentic task that requires measurement and conversion, present it in the beginning (of the whole/each unit(s) ), and revisit it in the end to apply skills learned? You can also find and use some interesting online resources to help students understand this topic, instead of relying too much on reading text. Here are some examples of fun videos in Khan Academy: http://www.khanacademy.org/search?page_search_query=metric+units+
