What do you want Modern Math to be?

Lesson 1
Before class starts in earnest, make sure to familiarize yourself with the Course Syllabus, Moodle, and all of the course resources available to you for these next few weeks. Do not assume anything: if you are not sure about something, ask your instructor!
Activity 1 Team Discussion: What is Modern Math?
Everyone has some preconceived notions of what it’s all about because everyone has taken a math class before. To get things started in this class, we want to find out two things:
What do you think Modern Math is?
What do you want Modern Math to be?
With your group, discuss these two questions. Be prepared to report out to class.

Activity 2 How should we divide up a cake? Or other stuff? Fair Division Basics
Continuous Fair Division Methods: Your note booklet and the Task videos describe methods for dividing up things that are very “cuttable.”
With your group, come up with a way to fairly divide the four items provided. Download worksheet ( see attachment).
Activity 3 Cumulative Practice Sheet
Students try their hand at a variety of Fair Division Problems (see attachment) with this handout. When you finish, upload your answers into Moodle so that your instructor can check them. For additional practice, try the Fair Division Quiz!
