Um we'd like you to see the problem solving approach in action. So we've included pictures and videos that highlight our latest unit on measurement and geometry. Um imagine IM uses a problem solving approach that fosters the development of a math community within our classrooms and helps make mathematic principles available to all levels of learners. It deepens the students understanding of math and how they think about math. Each lesson begins with a warm-up in which the students are asked to solve a series of problems and then explain their thinking to a partner and the class. These may be open-ended questions with more than one answer or more concrete questions that students are asked to solve mentally. This portion of the lesson helps students work on skills for mathematical discourse as well as critical thinking. The lesson then moves into a hands-on activity where students work with a partner or in teams to explore a mathematical topic such as properties of 2D and 3D shapes.

So, just a couple of words um, about how this came to be. Um, I've been active on the steamboard back when Lisa was on the steamboard, I guess, for over a decade. And um, we're always thinking about ideas about how to um, inspire people, get people to think about ideas in the steam fields. And uh this idea really came through me having conversations with Victor on a regular basis about how do we get our society interested in in the value of science and and uh I got a lot of good ideas from him. So when I came up with this thought to have this first person I naturally thought of was uh Victor and Candy are the first people. So, just to put this in perspective, I met Victor and Candy in their kitchen. I think um a friend of mine, one of Victor's graduate students, uh Zamchi Louu was going to a scientific conference and I was going to our family retreat New Hampshire and she said to me, we're both assistant professors.
Um, so for this evening, um, I'd like to go over the restorative practices response policy, answer any questions related to the policy. I did put the sample regulations there just as, um, some additional details um, of future information to come. Um, and the recommendation is that this new restorative practices uh, policy replace our former bullying policy, which is 5131.91. Um, so I will go ahead and bring that up on the screen. I know there was a quite a few pages of background. I think it was about eight pages of background information on kind of the why behind this policy, but we'll focus um on the wording in the policy.
