Facilitators Chris Oehrlein (Oklahoma City Community College) and Jessie Oehrlein (Fitchburg State University) will guide participants through some games and simulations they use to develop models with their math students. Participants will discuss how to use the games as models or to generate models, and then will brainstorm learning objectives and learning cycle questions related to each game. Participants will be asked to consider how students in other subject areas might be able to generate models in their classrooms.
