SUMMARY:MS Thesis Defense: Mr. Amare Mebrahtu
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Levels of Mathematical Modeling Prompts in the Illustrative Mathematics Algebra I and Geometry Curricula\nAmare Mebrahtu\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nThis event will take place virtually over Teams on Friday\, January 16th from 3:00pm–4:30pm. \nThe Common Core State Standards for Mathematics highlight the importance of mathematical modeling in enhancing students’ problem-solving abilities and critical thinking in mathematics. To this end\, incorporating the various characteristics and levels of modeling problems is pivotal to designing and implementing mathematical modeling for students. This talk will explore the levels of mathematical modeling in the Illustrative Mathematics (IM) Algebra I and Geometry curricula. \nDrawing on the California Framework for Mathematical Modeling\, we will classify selected mathematical modeling problems in IM using five core characteristics: problem context\, questions provided\, student autonomy\, modeling process\, and iteration. The findings reveal that most IM modeling prompts align with intermediate levels in the framework\, balancing structured guidance with opportunities for student-driven decision-making and iterative refinement. \nAdvisor:\nProf. Kevin McLeod \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Suzanne Boyd\nProf. Jeb F Willenbring

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Q&A Session with Dr. Pamela Harris
DESCRIPTION:This event will still take place on 01/30/2026 from 12:30 – 1:30 pm in EMS E495 \nThe first graduate student colloquium this semester features our Chair\, Dr. Pamela Harris. This will be an informal conversation between the department chair and graduate students. There will also be a portion of our time to answer questions posed anonymously. This is a great opportunity to meet our Chair and get your burning questions answered! This can range from department life\, teaching\, research\, and more. Please come and join us in the conversation and bring any topics you would like talk about or have questions on. We hope to see you there! \nPizza will be served after this event\, before the department colloquium!

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Alison Marzocchi
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Alison Marzocchi\nSupporting Mathematics Faculty Instructional Improvement with Reflection Cycles\nDr. Alison Marzocchi\nProfessor of Mathematics\nCalifornia State University\, Fullerton \nMany mathematics faculty desire to improve their instruction but may feel they lack the knowledge\, confidence\, skills\, or time to do so. Among numerous professional development activities\, our mathematics department at California State University\, Fullerton offers Reflection Cycles\, both student-facilitated and peer-facilitated. Peer-facilitated Reflection Cycles involve pairs of faculty taking turns leading each other in three phases: planning\, implementation\, and debrief. The planning phase involves setting specific goals for an upcoming lesson. The implementation phase involves observation during a regularly scheduled class session\, with a focus on the goals set by the instructor. The debrief phase involves reflection on the implementation and setting new goals for the future. A second Reflection Cycle can then be scheduled to continue working on the same goals or to set new goals. Reflection Cycles allow for gradual\, sustained\, individualized improvement of instruction. They are facilitated in-house and can additionally improve department camaraderie.
