Artifact Description
I am a member of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). In the Fall of 2012, I reviewed an article from the NCTM magazine, Mathematics Teacher for my Curriculum and Instruction 403: Teaching Diverse High School Students course. Being a member of NCTM grants me access to magazine articles from publications of previous years, allowing me to utilize the articles as a resource in keeping me informed about current instruction and helping me in developing more meaningful lesson plans. While browsing through the articles from Mathematics Teacher, an article written by Oistein Gjovik really caught my attention, titled: “Flying with the Bird Tetrahdron: An origami activity can lead to rich tasks in several branches of mathematics.” The artifact provides a synopsis and my reflection from reading the article as I reflect on what this knowledge means for me as a teacher, what questions am I still grappling with in regards to implementation and the interest of the students, and how may I apply it in the classroom.

Artifact Description
This artifact confirms that I had the privilege to attend the Metropolitan Mathematics Club of Chicago (MMC) Conference of Workshops on two occasions: on the dates of January 28, 2012 and February 2, 2013. It comprises of the most recent evidence of participation form as well as two reflections that I wrote for Noyce Seminar (Curriculum and Instruction 499) The National Science Foundation (NSF) Noyce Scholars Program funded my travels and attendance. In 2012, I attended three workshops including a compilation of six activities or lessons from experienced teachers. The three workshops included: "Preparing Students for AP Calculus", "Bridging the Gap to Algebra", and "Milk and Cookies and Function Transformations." In 2013, I attended the three workshops: "Building a Classroom Today that Works for Tomorrow, "The potential of Froebel's Gifts," and "Learning Math through Paper Folding." After attending the conference, I wrote reflections about each workshop.
