I am a high school mathematics teacher in Bronx, New York with a little over twenty years of experience. When not in the classroom, I enjoy traveling abroad and going to Broadway shows.
Students create graphs of annual NYC snowfall over time and the frequency of NYC winter storms over time to understand how climate change affects winter weather. Students explore how real scientists address uncertainty in climate models and make connections to green careers.
Inquire: Students recall their lived experiences and make predictions about NYC snowfall over time.
Investigate: Students create scatter plots and histograms of data sets and investigate how climate change affects the frequency and severity of winter weather.
Inspire: Students consider uncertainties in climate models and reflect on the skills needed for related green careers.
