Purpose
Flipped instruction involves assigning videos or multimedia as homework rather than problem sets. Within flipped instruction, students and teachers can work together on problems during class time rather than students having to work independently after school. The initial purposes of this project were to investigate mathematics teachers' motivations for flipping and the ways in which they structure flipped instruction in their classes. The project has now expanded to focus on the relationships between features of flipped instruction and students' learning of algebra.
