Artifact Description:
This artifact is a list of the mathematics and education courses I have taken at the University of Illinois to fulfill my Mathematics major and Secondary Education Minor. I have organized the courses into three categories: Mathematics Courses, Noyce Seminar, and Education courses. In seminar, part of the Noyce scholarship program that I am in, we discuss about our professional development as math teachers by focusing on the mathematics, how the mathematics can be creatively applied in the classroom, and most importantly, our future students.

Artifact Description
This artifact is a worksheet from an activity created by my cooperating teacher for students in Pre-Calculus that I adopted and modified during student teaching at Rantoul Township High School for Honors Algebra I. I used this worksheet for a discovery lesson utilizing graphing calculators after introducing students to quadratic functions and graphing parabolas. The purpose of the activity was for students to recognize patterns when graphing quadratic functions. The worksheet comprises of different methods of inquiry, guiding students through making observations and generalizations.
