Geology Field camp in the Dolomites part of NAGT:Our Resources:For Students:Field Camps:Field Camp Courses
This is traditional geology mapping field camp that takes place on the Dolomites of Italy. The course includes 3 full consecutive weeks of field work on site and a ore-departure week of online asynchronous instruction. Transportation is provided from and to Venice airport. The minimal travel time to outcrops and the field location makes it possible to carry out several mapping projects is a short time.

Exploring Sea Level Rise in Algebra and Pre-Calculus: Learning About Affected Communities, Creating Mathematical Models, and Practicing Mathematical Communication Skills part of Curriculum for the Bioregion:Activities
Students begin this activity by learning how communities in Bangladesh are affected by melting glaciers and sea level rise, as well as why these phenomena are happening as a result of global climate change. They complete a modeling activity by collecting sea level height data from an interactive map, using linear regression to fit a mathematical model to the data, and reflecting on the accuracy of their model, as well as climate change models in general, by doing calculations with their regression equation. The activity ends when they present their models and have a conversation, with a person who is not a mathematician or familiar with mathematical models, about how models are sometimes misused to create an illusion of uncertainty about humankind's contribution to climate change.

M3 (Mean, Median, Mode) part of Project EDDIE:Teaching Materials:Vignettes
Mean, Median, and Mode is a simple descriptive statistical method that assist in the representation, organization, and summarization of a dataset or scores of data of any size. A score is commonly identified as the average that is used to compare groups of individuals or between sets of data. The representation of the data is defined as central tendency, where the goal is to describe a single score that best represents all the individual values within the center of a distribution.
