[IAEP] Calculate and SocialCalc Lesson ideas?

[Caroline Meeks]

Hi,

I am working on curriculum for a professional development class for Sugar
for elementary school teachers for a class project. The format would be a
one-day hands on session followed by online session that are done over the a
week or two remotely.

For one of the online segments I'd like to have the teachers use Calculate
and/or SocialCalc.  I'm looking for ideas for an interesting activity that
would help them get hands on experience with the collaborative potential of
these math activities.

If possible I'd like this activity to support some of the other learning
goals

   - Helping the teachers see themselves as part of the global Sugar
   community and as global citizens working to educate the next generation.
   - Valuing and bringing into the classroom the different cultures of their
   students. In the US teachers have an increasing diverse classroom.
   - Teaching to standards
   - Differentiated instruction

Any ideas?
