      Definition of a lens

      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Who can create a lens?

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

Beginning Portfolios

Module by: Interactive Mathematics Program

Intent

Students begin work on their unit portfolios. In the process, they begin to review the unit, reflect on specific aspects of what they have learned, and study for the unit assessments.

Mathematics

Students look back on their work with graphs to identify two ways in which they were used: to describe or model a problem situation and to make a decision about a problem situation.

Progression

Students work on this activity individually.

Approximate Time

20 minutes

Classroom Organization

Individuals

Materials

Students’ work from the entire unit

Doing the Activity

Prior to this beginning work on the unit portfolios, remind students to bring all their work from the unit to class.

Discussing and Debriefing the Activity

Encourage students to share some of their thoughts about the period of the gold rush with the class, perhaps asking them to read portions of what they wrote.

You might also ask volunteers to identify the names of the activities, and possibly question numbers, they selected for each graph.
