TE855
Instructor: Dr. Michael Weiss
Semester: Fall 2012
This class examined how to teach mathematics to students. Assignments included solving problems in multiple ways, discussing our answers and problem solving tactics with fellow students, differentiating between lower order ("plug and chug") problems and higher order (critical thinking) problems, and answering Yahoo! Answers questions.
Work Sample: Lesson Sequence Write-Up
During fall of 2012, I was volunteering in a 3/4 split class at my local elementary school. This assignment required me to teach a lesson sequence to the entire class, and I chose to teach fractions using musical rhythms. This is the final write-up of how this experiment turned out.
