Teaching
I am passionate about supporting undergraduate mathematics students – future teachers or other majors – in
mathematical creativity and critical thinking
connection-making and flexibility in concept visualization
critical use of mathematics to investigate professional and everyday worlds, connecting with student interests, backgrounds, and lived experiences outside of math class
how to study math & manage time
discussing the value of mindsets, mistakes, and discomfort in mathematics
exploring and using multiple representations, assumptions, strategies, and potential solutions
using computer software, online tools, and other online resources
To open access to math for all my students, especially those from communities in which access has traditionally been blocked, I use AMTE’s (2017) Standards for Preparing Teachers of Math & MAA’s (2018) Instructional Practices Guide.
