As a way to emphasize the interconnectedness of math and science concepts in real-world situations, Todd has proposed the development of the "Science and Math: GO Figure!" program. Math and science teachers will plan projects integrating math, science and data collection technology. Students will use data gathered from temperature, motion and light probes to analyze in both math and science classes. Math students will use the data to construct meaning for math concepts and science students will use the same data to form scientific conclusions. The Science and Math: GO Figure!" program will use real-world examples to provide students an opportunity to practice the math and science knowledge they've acquired in class. The program will also foster greater collaboration between math and science teachers at Norman Junior High School. Todd lives in Crossett.
