Three Great UEN Resources

1. Searching for Solutions
I found this web quest through the UEN website. It guides students through the process of applying higher level problem solving skills to real life situations. It also gives them a few
choices for problem to attempt. Also, this is a great way to allow my students to use creative thinking to help cement problem solving in their minds.

2. Modifications of Slope
This Site allows students to experiment with changes to the slope intercept form of the equations. This will allow to students to see how small manipulations can change graphs and how manipulations affect the graph.

3. Sequences
This site makes a great warm up tool for students. It gives the students a list of numbers and each number is part of a sequence. The student must provide the next number in the sequence plus the rule of the sequence. A great brain builder exercise.

Who Am I?

Who am I? My Name is Steve Phelps. I am a Math ed major at UVSC. I have a wonderfully devious 1 year old and am expecting my second child in November. I will graduate in Spring 2009. I hate IVR's that try and carry on conversations with me. I find them condescending. I am math major because I wanted to teach and there is always a need for math teachers. This will allow me to maximize my personal impact in student's lives.
